Soltere 3.1 became his second published work. His first book was a business book relating to the field of health care. Robert has been married to his wife, inspiration, and best friend, Grace, for forty-six years. His daughter, Michelle, and son, Jeff, have embarked on successful careers. Robert is a retired health-care executive. He is also a proud member of the Bald Eagles Hockey Club in Wisconsin. The Bald Eagles is comprised of some very talented hockey players who are just a bit beyond their prime. The games are generally very spirited but played in slow motion. Robert is a native of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a Yooper, and now lives in northern Illinois. Besides writing, he loves golf, travel, reading, and the craziness of politics. The current political personalities have driven him to drink more wine, and for that, he is eternally grateful to them.view less
