Robert discovered his love for writing at a young age. His earliest attempts at writing
were in kindergarten. These early stories and poems were primitive and, as he recalls,
mostly relegated to the topics of his teachers and family. Regardless of the quality of
work the seed was planted.
As the years passed his work became more diverse. As a student in grammar, middle and
high school he would write the requisite papers and essays. More so, however, he would
ignore his instructors during class and instead use the time to define his style. He
primarily wrote short stories during this time and would commit them to paper at the rate
of one or two every other day. It was a pace that he would look back on in later years
(read: now) with great nostalgia.
In college Robert took his love for writing to a new level. He decided to double major
in Early Childhood Studies and Creative Writing. In addition he began offering editing
assistance to his fellow students. He started a company, Creative Consultants, and soon
thereafter hired two other writers to help cover the surprising growth of the upstart.
His daughter was born in 2005, forcing Robert to put his school plans on hold. He
continued to write in his spare time and consult on copywriting jobs when they were
presented. 2006 saw the first appearance of the Word Rebel in National Novel Writing
Month. He did not achieve the goal of finishing his novel that year, or for the
subsequent two years. However, 2009 presented him with three fantastic firsts: 1. a
beautiful wife, 2. a handsome son, and 3. a NaNoWriMo win.
Somewhere in the years between 1979 and today, Robert has sold paint, electronics, office
supplies, music boxes, and owned two different DJ/karaoke companies. Today he can be
found tending to his collection of vintage typewriters or rediscovering long lost
treasures of music and books at second-hand shops around Illinois.
Robert has self-published two books of poetry, Conflicting Contradictions and Coming
Apart At The Dreams, and a children's book Daddy Doesn't Live Here, all under the
Jellybean Press imprint.
