Hi, I'm Robert — and it's an honor to create this newsletter for you.
Catch up quick: I moved to Arapahoe County in 1980 and formed my best childhood memories here — from stalking John Elway's house for Halloween candy to hanging at Buckingham Square Mall.
⚾️ I went to Sagebrush Elementary School and played Little League with future baseball Hall-of-Famer Roy Halladay.
✏️ I graduatedfrom the University of Missouri's School of Journalism, andI've worked at the Associated Press, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Rocky Mountain News, the Denver Post and 5280 Magazine.
❤️❤️ My wife, Kristen, and I have two children.
Both attended high school in Aurora.
Allie graduates from Georgetown University this month, and Michael is finishing his freshman year at Mizzou.
Plus, we have a pair of goldens, Macy and Dolly.
The bottom line: Arapahoe County is a big part of who I am, and I'm thrilled to deliver news to you every Monday and Wednesday.
