Rob has been captivated by science fiction and fantasy since he discovered The Hobbit in 3rd grade. Since then he's been an avid consumer of all genre's of fiction (and some non-fiction). When he's not inhaling new stories or writing his own, he studies Jeff Speakman's Kenpo 5.0 V-2, in which he proudly holds a Black Belt. Why does he prefer writing science fiction? As Rob likes to say, "Where else can you land a space ship on the lawn of the White House?".
