He served as a national account manager with Apogee's Retrofit team for the last four years. Prior to this, he worked at Wausau Window and Wall Systems for more than 30 years.

Drawing from decades of experience in the fenestration industry, Robbins leads Apogee's Retrofit team in a nationwide effort, in conjunction with Apogee's businesses, to assist building owners and property managers in evaluating the benefits of window renovation and upgrades.

The team offers free energy modeling, product selection and design assistance, and a network of installers covering North America.

Robbins and his team present Apogee's Retrofit service offering and renovation project success stories at numerous industry associations and events. These recently have included the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) GLOBALCON and World Energy Engineering Congress, the Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA) conference, the BuildingsNY show, the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) World Workplace, and the National Facilities Management & Technology (NFMT) conference.

During his 33 years with Wausau, Robbins worked on hundreds of renovation and new construction projects as a regional sales manager and estimating manager. His earlier positions included plant manager for manufacturing Wausau's curtainwall and architectural windows, and as scheduling manager.

Before joining Wausau, Robbins graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science. He also is trained in Six Sigma/Lean and has studied at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management.
