"The contest went horribly for me, but I absolutely fell in love with the sport." He joined the powerlifting team in college, where he honed his technique, and started competing on the amateur circuit.

Rob Kearney has been named as a part of the 10-man roster for the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic, which is scheduled to take place on March 3-4 in Columbus, Ohio. After just four or five months of training, Kearney participated in his first strongman competition.
