Rob created levels for Quake, before he was discovered by Rebel Boat Rocker. After the cancellation of their first project, the core team formed Gearbox Software, where he worked as a lead level designer. He conceived and created much of Half-Life: Opposing Force, and served as the creator and lead designer of Half-Life: Blue Shift.
With Stephen Bahl and Kristy Pitchford, Heironimus co-wrote the story for Half-Life: Opposing Force, and the story for Half-Life: Blue Shift with Randy Pitchford and David Mertz.
