Robert's Story

Life A lot has happened over the years...marriage...birth of my son, Adam...divorce...excessive, random dating...engagement... ...disengagement, etc. Now I am currently married to Jan, the greatest woman I have ever met! The life of wedded bliss began on June 1, 2007 and continues to this day...and gained four awesome step-kids! We moved to an old-but-cool house in Rapid City, South Dakota (at least it is large enough to accommodate my recording studio and much larger than I could have afforded in So.Cal.) South Dakota has no smog and virtually no "rush hour"...more deer, cattle and buffalo than people! Although I took a short detour through law school after my years as a USC Trojan, my life has been filled with music...from session work with Ted Nugent and numerous 80's hair bands to Fleetwood Mac (even the late Dizzy Gillespie!)...a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff to make sure I remained a virtual unknown. I was in a few bands in L.A. that got local airplay, including a video on MTV...signed a bad record deal...sore subject...that was my initial inspiration to go into Entertainment Law. Strange detour in my life... When I first moved back to South Dakota in 2002, of all places, I had the chance to do a few scenes in the Disney flick "Hidalgo"...even got to brush up on my horsemanship.

All that just to end up mostly on the cutting-room floor...oh well...a lot of wasted time and money on Disney's part. We made sure no food was wasted (Craft Services rocks!) and Viggo Mortensen is such a nice guy! Also surprising are the many opportunities I've had to hang out with some rock 'n' roll classic folks, like Styx, Bad Company, Night Ranger, and many hair band members (most have less hair these days!). One show, we even had Loverboy and Journey open for us!! (which means we didn't start until 11:00 PM when the crowd thinned out...minor detail I should have left out!) I continue to do live sound for anyone that will have me, and I still do fill-in work for other bands. I also continue to return to SoCal for recording studio session work every 6 months or so. My company, SoundMind Productions, also does live digital multitrack recording, including the post-production and CD mastering. Rapid City is the second largest city in the state (and the largest for hundreds of miles in any direction) with a population about 70,000 people...so far. Life is great way out here in the big, open spaces. Mount Rushmore - the Badlands - the Black Hills are quite impressive. There's always room for more...
