Bob was born and raised in Ohio. Although his childhood was fun and adventurous at times, he developed a low sense of self esteem. Fortunately Bob's innate talent and love of expression through art offered a respite and hope.

Art classes at the Toledo Museum of Art and later in public high school, offered a platform for his talents.

At the age of twenty, Bob moved to Chicago to attend design school. It was in the Windy City that his journey of self discovery through the arts began.

Working in the fields of contract interior design, film making, and illustration developed his perspective as a creative professional, while writing and performing in his puppet shows allowed his inner joy to be set free.
