== Early career ==
Sluggo was born in Victoria, British Columbia where he started as a gymnast winning the Western Canadian Championships at age 13.〔McLaughlin, John P. (May 3, 2001). "Brothers take flight in 'boarding world", ''The Province'', p. B24.〕 Rob also took up break-dancing where he won several competitions and placed 5th in a North American break-dance contest.
He began his skateboard career at the age of 15 on the advice of a classmate. At age 16, a friend suggested the name ''Sluggo'', because of his supposed resemblance to the character in the comic strip ''Nancy''.〔Ward, Doug (May 6, 2000). "This weekend, Vancouver is Jam City: Skateboarding's biggest event helps fuel the enthusiasm of B.C.'s red-hot 'boarders", ''The Vancouver Sun'', p. B1.〕 Sluggo honed his vertical skateboard skills at the Richmond Skate Ranch, owned by Kevin Harris, a local pro skater for Powell Peralta. This is where he would also meet his future crew, best friends, and business partners Colin McKay, and Moses Itkonen. The crew came to be known as the "Red Dragons".
