Robert is a writer of fantasy stories who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife.  He grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina before attending UNC-Chapel Hill to study Economics and Creative Writing.

Robert has always been drawn to certain authors and the worlds they create – from Harry Potter and Middle Earth as a child to discovering Westeros as a teenager.  He has since fallen in love with the worlds of Rothfuss, Erikson, and Sapkowski (as well as many more).

Robert’s enjoyment of real-life military history has combined with his enthusiasm for creating fantasy worlds with the Falling Empires Saga.

When not reading and writing fantasy, Robert enjoys cheering on UNC Basketball and the Carolina Panthers, exploring the exquisite North Carolina craft beer scene, and feasting on his wife’s fine southern cooking.
