A lawyer by trade, Bob is the published author of three books of fiction. As a college undergraduate, he majored in English, and as part of his Juris Doctor studies, he focused on the art of writing legislation, and studied, wrote and lectured intensively on the "literature of law."

Bob believes that good writing is a foundation for success in any field. Every college applicant has a story to tell, and Bob will help each student reveal that story and express it in a compelling way. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence being used in writing, Bob will help your student craft unique college application responses which will signal to admissions screeners that the words are authentic and reflective of each applicant's personal style and messaging. Bob also serves as high school substitute teacher for the Abington School District in the subjects of English, Honors English, and Public Speaking.
