Robert works with families who have experienced disruption in their lives to the point of homelessness. He is the oldest of ten in his family from rural Iowa. He left home to join a religious community of Brothers, where, along with fellow members worked for ten years in agriculture with the people of Timor, Indonesia. Upon returning home Bob chose to leave my religious community to marry his wife Deirdre in New Orleans. They share like ministries to the poor and support one another in their work and prayer for seventeen years now. Currently Bob works with homeless families to reestablish their housing, assisting them with accessing housing while they go back to work and strengthen and rebuild their families.
