His love for Vincent price and the notorious villains of horror fueled his imagination. When he was eight he built his first outdoor Halloween show. Tombstones and eerie music was the start, but as the years went on, the guillotine was born and then the electric chair, pumpkins, chainsaws, meat hooks, ghosts, goblins, and so many other strange items made it to his yard.

Robert was also a very intense musician. He wrote and played his first piano sonata when he was twelve. He studied classical music as well as jazz and modern music until one fateful day when he heard the theme to Tales from the Crypt. He knew then even being so young, that was what he wanted to do, to be able to infuse his two favorite things together.
