Robert was raised in an alternative co-operative style. His
parents worked within a nonprofit ecumenical institute doing human
development projects all over the world. He
received formal voice training in the California
Boys Choir and later at
Ferrum
College
,
Va.
As he entered his
teens, his father returned to a fulltime Pastor position within the United
Methodist church. Robert became a P.K. (preacher's
kid) overnight. During that time, Robert became rebellious and fell
into drug use and immoral lifestyle. He actively joined the New Age
Movement in his college years, searching to experience "the god
within" in a mystical way.
He was active within the Hollywood/Los
Angeles music scene in an
Alternative Rock band called Wormwood
, but gave up that dream in order to serve God
After
many years of moral, philosophical and historical study, combined with a
deeply prayerful and sincere search for intimacy with God, he discovered the
fullness of truth and beauty within the Roman Catholic Church and
made his profession of full communion in 1995.
He
is a permanent member of the Brothers
and Sisters of Charity - Domestic Expression. Responding
to the call of the community's way of life, he devotes himself to an
integration of charismatic praise and worship of our LORD,
contemplative scriptural prayer - Divine Office- Liturgy of the Hours,
and the Sacramental life. Robert
and Kimberly are joyfully married with five wonderful children.
Robert also
works for St. Joseph Radio offering EWTN
(Eternal Word Television Network),
Catholic
satellite programming via Dish
Network and Sirius
Radio. If you would like more information, please visit. www.stjosepradio.com
