Bob hated Nick when they first met, as he shared with the West Virginia Supreme Court upon Nick’s swearing into the West Virginia Bar.

If he still hates Nick, he does a pretty bad job of showing it, however. The two are in constant contact through political discussion, collaboration on now-defunct student newsletters, international travel, law school, joining the same state bar, white water rafting, and countless trips to the White Hall McDonald’s.

Nick hopes that Bob decided it was easier to like and befriend him, as the most likely alternative is that Bob’s playing an incredibly long game in causing Nick’s demise.

Bob lives in Grafton, WV and serves as an Assistant Professor of National Security & Intelligence at Fairmont State University. He also maintains an active law practice providing services in business transactions and family planning for the local community. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in History and Political Science, summa cum laude, from Fairmont State University and earned his Juris Doctor from The School of Law at Wake Forest University.

He lives with his cat, Boone, and the most impressive collection of old books in the state of West Virginia.
