He plays five instruments, is a recording engineer, producer, songwriter and singer with countless albums, television episodes and movies featuring his compositions. He has written screenplays and is about to produce and direct a noir web series called Mr. Happy. He is co-host of a weekly comedic (hopefully) talk podcast called The Spoon every Thursday at 7 pm PST on www.tmvcafe.com. He is a decent cook, a fair tennis player, and dreams of the day he can just once leave a room with his dignity left intact.

And an also known fact Robbie and Lisa are great friends and have written and acted 100's of radio commercial together and Robbie is the "everyman" in Lisa's hit Podcast LOVE BITES.
