Even as a child, Robbie Wallis always had a love for anything with wheels.

From attending motor shows with his dad to reading the latest car news every month, he has always been fascinated with the automotive world.

After graduating school, Robbie wasn't sure what he wanted to do so he enrolled in an Arts degree at Monash University. Upon finishing that, he was still unsure what to do so he enrolled in a journalism degree.

Soon after completing that he found himself as the newest member of the GoAuto team.

When not at work Robbie spends his time cruising around in his 1995 BMW 530i and watching sport, be it AFL football, cricket or basketball.
