Bob has been a Provincetown-based writer since 2005 when he earned his MFA at Boston University. Ten years before that, he embarked on a 30-year career as a service industry professional. In 2025, he thought it would be meaningful and fun to apply those service skills to a greater mission on behalf of the Commonwealth. In his role as a community leader and organizer, Bob has been the host of the morning talk show “Wake Up in Provincetown” since 2020. For fun, he enjoys riding his bike on the Cape Cod National Seashore bike trail, singing, dancing, cooking, and awards-show prognosticating.
