Hi. I’m Bobby.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. You will encounter an array of topics ranging from entertainment – movies, television, music, books and art – to my social/political views (I’m proudly liberal) and commentary on conservation of wildlife and the environment.
I love movies, elephants (and giraffes), dinosaurs and many other things. I love to learn, and use the knowledge I’ve gained as an aspiring artist. I have many ideas and hope you’ll follow me along my journey.
Recently, I completed the first draft of my first novel titled Boug & S’More: A Swamp Tale (read a synopsis here), in addition to the fourth draft of my first children’s book titled The Story of Piph. With any luck, I’ll find success in the literary world that parlays into a cinematic endeavor for the ages.
I can’t wait to share these worlds – stories – and characters with you.

10 Fun Facts:
- I presently foster two elephant orphans through the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Their names are Rorogoi and Ndotto. In 2016, I added giraffe orphan Kiko.
