I am currently a Las Vegas local, Technical Writer and Corporate Trainer (see the Bob's Consulting page). I have written hundreds of technical documents and delivered hundreds of technical courses in my career. I love to teach people how to do stuff.

I grew up in New York City, the financial and cultural capital of the world. (In case you didn’t know, us New Yorkers are pretty New York centric.) We lived way on the outskirts of New York but still within the political boundaries of the city in Brooklyn (one of the five boroughs that make up the city) in a neighborhood called Canarsie. We were about as far away from Manhattan as you could get and still be in New York. (That’s probably why I never developed a typical New York accent.)

I was lucky to be accepted at Brooklyn Technical High School - you have to take a competitive test to get in. Tech is the largest (by number of students) high school in the United States, and when I attended, it was all boys. In your last two years you study engineering or science. I was going to be a Chemical Engineer. But then I took Organic Chemistry and that put an end to that.

With girls being allowed to attend, the Speech Department revitalized the Drama Club in my senior year. I always loved to sing and act and was a very willing participant in productions of "Guys and Dolls" and our original version of "Alice in Wonderland."

I attended the School of Performing Arts at Brooklyn College and, originally, dropped out to work in the professional Theater as a stagehand and designer. I started working on my script GYNT (based on Ibsen’s Peer Gynt) while in college. Recently I’ve written a screenplay for my novel       A Blood Moon Over Las Vegas. 

It wasn’t until I started my career as a stagehand, and had the opportunity to travel, that I had some of my own essential experiences. I knew I had some natural abilities but I didn’t know about “things.” I learned a lot in school and from books but I never learned about life. That was the motivation for my book Teach Your Children Well – 50 Essential Experiences for Your Children.

(And that is why I’m still trying to decide what I should be when I grow up.)

Eventually I returned to college to study computers. For the past 30 years I’ve been a technical writer and corporate trainer, mostly teaching adults how to use computer systems. So I do consider myself an educator.

After I married, my wife and I lived on Long Island for a while. Then, twenty years ago, she took an early retirement and we decided to move to Las Vegas where I continued my career as a corporate trainer.

Since moving to Las Vegas I have worked for some of the biggest companies in the gaming industry including the legendary Stardust. And that was the impetus for my book The Progressive Method for Penny Slot Success.

I recently published a new version of my vampire novel A Blood Moon Over Las Vegas which is available on Amazon along with my other titles: Teach Your Children Well – 50 Essential Experiences for Your Children, The Progressive Method for Penny Slot Success, and the play GYNT.

I do consulting work (technical writing) when I can and write song lyrics for fun. Check out my Songs page for some good listiening.

(By the way, do you know the difference between teaching adults and children? Adults are generally bigger.)
