Biography

Read Rob Elliott’s biography.

Rob Elliott was previously an electronics engineer and designer of military control systems within the UK aerospace industry, and later with atomic weapon development for US Defence. He began to collect meteorites and has since maintained a growing collection of rocks from space in a privately owned museum. His passion for collecting has developed into a full time business that has now grown into one of the largest meteorite dealerships in the world.
Rob is quite rare - he's one of the few people to have found a meteorite by chance in the UK.
