Growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Bob exhibited artistic talent early on. Despite being awarded a scholarship to the MFA school, he was strongly urged to join his father's woodworking business.

Bob eventually founded his own business, where for several years, woodworking was a reliable source of income, as well as his full time outlet for creativity and self expression.

Bob is self taught, and through a combination of instinct and experimentation, has learned to work with color, shading, inventive forms and dimension to create pieces with remarkable depth and refinement. His study of fractal geometry and universal energy have been the strongest influences on his work.

Bob currently lives in Norwell, MA and is the owner of  Hafta Havit in Pembroke, MA.
