Robert began his career in in Minneapolis where he worked on the development teams at the Guthrie Theater and Frank Theater.

Robert’s career in development began as an offshoot of his interest in theatre. As a playwright, Robert’s work has been performed in Minneapolis, New York, London, and Dublin. One critic labeled his writing “Samuel Beckett meets Kevin Smith.” He is currently the inaugural Playwright-In-Residence at the Montclair Kimberley Academy. As an actor, Robert was fortunate enough to play his dream roles of Jerry in “The Zoo Story” and Pseudolus in “A Funny Thing…” as a high school student, so he’s done for now.
