Robert has lived all around the United States for brief periods at one time or another, but mostly grew up in Northern Virginia. A happily married father of four, he now lives just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. With his love of the outdoors, he developed his passion for writing with poetry at an early age, being published for the first time at seventeen. Later, his passion evolved into writing short stories and novels mostly in the post-apocalyptic/horror and the suspense/thriller genres.
