As a submariner in the U.S. Navy, Robert literally lived and worked in the belly-of-the-beast—a hot, strange, and extreme mechanical environment, which he elicits when writing science-fiction and techno-fantasy.
Later as an IBEW Inside Wireman, Robert worked in widely-varied heavy-industrial environments like: coal and soda-ash mines, coal-fired and nuclear-breeder powerhouses.

Attending the University of Colorado, he got a BSIS (Information Systems Analysis) and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Robert’s Professional career included Certification as an Oracle Master Database Administrator, as well as an IBM/AIX Systems Administrator. He also held certification as a Project Management Institute - Project Management Professional (PMI/PMP). During the final years of his professional career,  Robert became the Director of Information Services for the State of Colorado Sheriffs Association (CSOC). Throughout his professional career, he was also a technical writer and Microsoft Office 2010 Instructor for county staff all across Colorado.

Robert’s latest work is The Stolen Man Trilogy, a sci-fi/fantasy adventure about telepathic techno-dragons and their magic, rogue and deadly artificial-intelligence (AI), and songspell singing sorceresses. Robert says, “I invite you to go along with me to an alternate universe of super-smart, telepathic dragons in control of ancient-alien artificial intelligence gone rogue.”
