About Me

Hello. ! my name is ROb, i was born on a cold winter day in Edmonton Alberta [Canada] dec 01 1980, sometimes it is suggested that i may have been born in a barn, but i insist it was in a snowbank because i'm a polar bear!

my father taught me how to play Johnny Cash on the guitar when i was 7, and i taught him how to play Pearl Jam when i was 14- i bathe frequently in music, think and create as often as possible- i'm hooked on herbs, mainly green tea and ginseng and anything else beneficial from the earth :P

i took television broadcasting and a bartending course in Toronto, and now i live on the small island of Guernsey! 50 km off the coast of France, its one of the UK's channel islands. i work in a pharmaceutifcal lab as a quality analyst- aaaand seeing as much as i can while i'm on this side of the ocean

..it should actually say i LIVED here,,, for i' m back in Canada!! and gainfully employed! [somewhat]
