The Lost Shores Story
Rob grew up in Nova Scotia spending summers at the family beach cottage in Half Island Cove. A Waterloo chapter armed him with a mechanical engineering degree and his beloved Beverley. Rob worked most of his career in operations leadership roles manufacturing various medicines in Ontario and California. In 2011 they moved to Nova Scotia and restored the old family home in Philips Harbour. Along the way they created the Lost Shores brand to promote their hidden paradise. The name shamelessly borrows from California’s legendary Lost Coast, an area largely settled by Maritimers some 150 years ago. Rob and Beverley live to be active and outdoors hiking, riding bikes, gardening, cutting firewood and all kinds of volunteer work.
