I mismanaged my youth. Instead of attending high school, I set pins in a Manhattan bowling alley. After a brief stint in the USAF, I attended New York University, the University of Chicago, the Graduate Faculty of the New School University, and the University of Hawaii, where I finished my coursework towards a PhD in political science and failed to gain a seat in the US Senate.

While trying to achieve enlightenment in college nights, I spent my twenties and thirties as a computer programmer/analyst and later as a strategic planner, software entrepreneur, writer, and lecturer.

One of my first books, Metacapitalism (1985), described how enlisting a Hollywood actor to run America would have disastrous consequences. Three or four people thought it quite good. Another book, Love Atlanta (1996), set forth for those visiting Georgia to view the Summer Olympics, that state's many amenities. Still another of Bob's political books, The American Challenge (2003), describes in great detail how a second  W administration would further the demolition of America that Reagan began.

I'm now working on two books.The Strong Agenda, an updated version of Nietzsche's Will to Power and a murder story set in New Orleans.

I live just beyond Wilmington NC in Hampstead with my pup Wiley.
