October 1 Meeting: Speaker Robert DeCou

You're invited to join the Rotaract Club of Atlanta at our upcoming meeting! We will be joined by guest speaker and fellow Rotarian Robert (Rob) Decou. Rob is highly involved in ultra-endurance sports, to raise awareness and build community around important issues. In 2017, Rob completed a 146-mile run across Death Valley to the top of Mt. Whitney which raised over $700,000 for End Polio Now, Rotary’s global campaign to eradicate polio. The prior year, Rob completed the solo Race Across America, known as “the World’s Toughest Bicycle Race”, a 3,000-mile journey from coast to coast raising over $21,000 to fund brain cancer research. In 2019 Rob covered 31-miles in the water, swimming from Port Angeles Washington to Victoria Canada across the strait of Juan de Fuca raising over $10,000 through Rotary in the fight against human trafficking. In October 2020 Rob completed the world’s toughest ultra-ironman known as Uberman and raised over $55,000 in the fight against human trafficking.

Rob is the Executive Producer and Co-Founder at Lux Virtual, a full-service marketing agency with expertise in video, animation, web design and immersive experiences to simplify and illuminate brilliant ideas, and also serves as a tenured faculty member in Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Peninsula College.

Rob is a proud member of the Nor Wester Rotary Club. He lives in Port Angeles Washington with his wife Kristin, son Hudson, and daughter Kalea.
