In this word-rich environment, it is not surprising he melded with language at a very young age.
Throughout his childhood in the New Jersey suburban town of Summit, and his travels as a young man through Europe, the Middle East and across America, he continuously worked at his craft through prose, song and poetry. Entering the business world, he was served well by the capacity to represent himself both on paper and on his feet.
In 2000, he published his first book, The Superman Syndrome: Why the Information Age Threatens Your Future and What You Can Do About It. The basic message? It really is possible to live a life of depth in a world dominated by speed.
In 2002, his second book, Real Fatherhood: the Path of Lyrical Parenting was released. While it chronicles Bob's personal experience as a single father, it could well serve as a primer for parents in all the diverse family settings of our time facing the challenge of balancing family, work and the need for personal nourishment.
In the course of sharing the ideas in Superman and Real Fatherhood, Bob received the attention of the national press including CNN, MSNBC and NBC, Fox, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CBS and ABC radio along with numerous other media outlets.
While some of the poems in this collection were written in his twenties, thirties and forties, the overwhelming majority of them emerged over the last three years as he was moving through the second half of his fifties.
Since 1977, Bob has lived in San Luis Obispo, County, California.weniger sehen
