Founder of Comfort Cases & Foster Care Advocate; Host of "Fostering Change" Podcast
Rob Scheer Biography
Growing up in an abusive household before his placement in foster care, Rob Scheer had all the odds stacked against him. Kicked out of his foster family’s home within weeks after turning eighteen—with a year left of high school to go—he had to resort to sleeping in his car and in public bathrooms. He suffered from drug addiction and battled with depression, never knowing when his next meal would be or where he would sleep at night. But by true perseverance, he was able to find his own path and achieve his wildest dreams.
Today, Scheer is the founder of the international nonprofit Comfort Cases and an outspoken advocate for youth in foster care. His interview with Upworthy went viral in February 2017 garnering more than 100 million views, and he was later featured on "Ellen," the "TODAY" show, "The View," and "NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt," just to name a few. In 2018, Scheer was named one of CNN’s Heroes. Scheer and his partner Reece Scheer are also featured in Bryce Dallas Howard’s documentary film "Dads" on AppleTV+.
Scheer is also the host of Fostering Change, a weekly audio and video podcast that brings in guests of prominence who discuss issues regarding foster care, adoption, LGBTQ+ and other timely and topical issues.
The author of "A Forever Family: Fostering Change One Child at a Time," Scheer’s memoir tells the inspiring story of his journey from foster care to foster parent and his drive to rebuild a broken system.
In May 2022, he received an honorary doctoral degree, a Doctorate of Humane Letters, from Lynn University, where he also delivered the commencement speech.
