Robert was born in Key West but grew up in various parts of the U.S., thus exposing him to many different aspects of American society. As a young man, he sojourned over a year in Asia and was probably one of the last free-traveling Americans to transit Afghanistan on his way to Europe as he circumvented the world. Busking with his flute to support himself, he also traveled to North Africa for some time before finally settling in central Italy to work in the fine arts. After a lifetime abroad, he returned to the USA. He currently lives in South Carolina.
