Born and raised in Richfield, Utah, Robyn Chavez often talks about her 'backyard adventures’ exploring the mountains and valleys around her. She spent her time as a child on family campouts, hunting/fishing trips, or just going on random rides with her family. It was at this time, her love of photography and nature bloomed.
As she grew older, her love for both never diminished. She is self taught and has studied all she could in regards to design, photography, and editing as she continued to enjoy the outdoors, and everything that came along with it. She excelled to the point where she was able to start her own photography business.
Since starting R&R Tactical with Rudy, she has explored photography and design even more. She enjoys taking her knowledge and coming up with new designs for apparel, social media graphics, website graphics, among other tasks. Christmas of 2022, Rudy bought her a screen printing station so that she could expand on creating an apparel business. She has enjoyed learning how to use it.
Robyn has helped successfully set up and help grow a few FRG’s (Family Readiness Group) while Rudy was in the military. She was recognized by 10th Mountain and 101st Airborne for her work. She loved being able to assist families when their loved ones deployed as well as setting up fundraisers and events for the Soldiers and their families.
She has helped set up raffles to help local families with funerals and medical bills, as well as other programs to raise money. She was instrumental in setting up a successful Angel Tree to support families during Christmas.
She believes that "With Family, anything is possible”. Her family is her driving force in all she does.
Rudy and Robyn met while Rudy was in the military, stationed in New York. They spent some time living back East, but the West is where their hearts were. They eventually made their way back to Utah. They were determined to make a life where they could camp and enjoy the outdoors. With the knowledge and experience these two have combined, they were able to build R&R Tactical Design, LLC.
