@About Rob

I'm a dad currently mastering the art of the "hands full" with my four children. A former English teacher and photographer, I've been a homeschool teacher, stay at home dad, and advocate for men in the home-place for almost ten years. Together we're taming this unbalanced yet sublime circus ... one day at a time.
