Rob King holds a Master of Arts in Physical Education from East Tennessee State University. Coach King is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine as a Health and Fitness Instructor.

In his eleventh year as a Physical Education and Health Instructor and ninth year as Head Cross Country Coach, he believes strongly that the playing fields are simply an extension of the classroom. A student of exercise science and novice runner for more than 18 years, Coach King delights in the opportunity to bridge the gap between science and sport.

Coach King’s current focus is to facilitate consistent improvement in individual and team performance for Peace College's Cross Country squad. Peace College will partner with a neighbor institution to host several local meets in the coming season.
