He also was an adjunct professor at a New Jersey University for 3 years. He spent 3 years in education as a counselor in Florida and one year as a school leader for opening a charter school.. He is presently a writer, school athletic official, and a stop tobacco use coach in Florida. This is his first book with two more books completed and several more in process. The motivation comes from his beloved wife Debby, his adult sons and daughters and his grandchildren. Bob likes to tell other writers to keep going and achieve your writing goals. His first grant writing experience in 1987 has brought the school district state funds adding up to millions for almost 27 years. That was after he was told his school will never get that model grant by other writers. Bob tells others to be passionate, seize the moment, create a sense of urgency. Remember, if it was easy everyone would write a book. Don't be afraid to fill the trash can until you write YOUR story.
