Minister Robert was born in Suffern, New York. The youngest of three children, he was raised in Harlem.

In 1971, his family moved to New Jersey where he completed Middle Township High School in 1974.
Minister Robert first met the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan personally in 1976 while a student at Hampton University. Minister Farrakhan spent two days at the university by invitation of the Student Government Association. Those two days would change Minister Robert's life forever.
Minister Robert earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 1978 from Hampton University. In 1980, he moved to Houston, Texas, to pursue a career in Banking and Finance. He became minister of Muhammad Mosque No. 45 in Houston, Texas in 1987. In 1994, he was appointed as the Southwest Regional Representative of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

He was featured in the French film documentary, "Made in the U.S.A." which chronicled the case and execution of O'Dell Barnes. The title "Made in the U.S.A." was taken from a speech he made in an eloquent defense of O'Dell Barnes. "Made in the U.S.A" was featured at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
