A centerpiece of Brother Staton's life is his Church. He is an ordained deacon at the First Baptist Church in Bronxville, New York and has served as the President of the Board of Trustees. He served as First Vice President on the Trustee Board and an usher. His total involvement in his church is evidenced by his multiple activities at the house of worship.

Brother Staton crossed the burning sands of Kappa Alpha Psi at North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina and was a member of the student government. Upon graduation with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, Bob pursued a diversified career as social worker, probation officer and a criminal investigator.
