Rob Carson is an alumnus of the University of Minnesota. He is widely believed to be the youngest man to ever win the CBI National Championship, doing so in 2007 at 18 years, three months. As far as real quizbowl goes, he was a member of the inaugural official ACF Undergraduate and Division II National Championship team. He has since gone on to win two more ACF undergrad titles, an ICT undergrad title, the overall ICT title in 2011, and a Chicago Open title. He also was part of the Ooh Aah Aah Aah team that won the inaugural CULT national title. He is widely regarded as one of the best mythology players in the game. According to Andrew Hart, he is "an excellent question writer and editor." Less subjectively, he co-created and has served as a major editor and contributor to Minnesota's two annual tournaments, Minnesota Open and MUT, head-edited ACF Regionals in 2011, and has generally been among the most prolific writers in quizbowl since around 2007. In that span, he has won a boatload of tournaments and scored lots of points doing so.
