Robert Eppley is the Co-Founder, Event Partnerships and Operations Manager, and self-described Energizer Bunny at VALT Auto Club. It is an automotive lifestyle and event business based in Northern California that he started with two friends in early 2020. Robert’s love of cars started at the age of 6 with an inherited 1952 MG TD. He earned a dual B.A. in Biology and Political Science from Swarthmore College and his professional experience lies in brand strategy consulting and freelance automotive photography. Robert has no particular automotive brand allegiances today, and his car history shows it. That being said, he grew up infatuated with American Muscle, and picked up a bright red ’68 RS/SS Camaro when he graduated college two years ago. It’s been a slippery slope since then.
