    Author

    Robert Venanzi

    Rob currently lives in Canada, but was born and raised amidst the urban sprawl of the great state of New Jersey, where he spent the first quarter-century of his life. He loves baseball, classic rock music, and scathing sarcasm. He has a BA in Journalism, and writes because he realized long ago that is what he is meant to do. He also apparently writes bios in the third person.
