I have been piercing since 1999 and currently work as a tattoo artist and body piercing modification artist at Monster Ink in Saint Paul, MN. Writing and editing are arts which must be tediously honed over time. Follow along with "THE BOB", empowered with passion for all things literary, as he explores writing and editing in various genres to develop and master these desired skills. I imagine myself some sort of Renaissance man; but, I believe this may only exist within the realms and bounds of my own mind. I am an Eagle Scout. I hold a black belt in Shotokan Karate and have studied other traditions for over twenty years. I can play the tuba, baritone and bass, and I am learning to play the guitar. I was one of those AP (history, English, Lit, microbiology) brats in high school. I love art, music and languages. I am currently brushing up on my Spanish. I happen to have a doctorate degree in Biblical Studies; although, I never use the title "doctor" but have no aversion to my nickname "Doc." I also hold a B.A. in Writing, Editing and Publishing Management through Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, MN. I am pursuing an M.A. in English with Specialization in Rhetoric through National University in La Jolla, CA. My passion is learning and writing. I love to explore venues I am not necessarily drawn toward. I have often stated no man is a master; we are all eternally students, and all men can be our teachers.
