Rob is a former food scientist, corporate lawyer and systems manager who had a passion for art and writing throughout his professional life. Writing was the best way to pass the time on long train commutes, where he penned a full-length novel. He became a stay-at-home Dad and his artwork intensified, leading to active participation in local art shows, where he exhibited his sculptures, featuring an abundance of penguins. Over time writing gained more ground.
Escape From Desolation was inspired by a painting displayed in Omni Magazine in the 1980s. The image stuck in his head until it became a book.
