Robert was also a producing partner in the production company, Mythgarden, whose film SAVE ME premiered at Sundance. Along with his writing partner, he is actively writing, developing, and pitching original scripted series and features. Robert has been involved with a number of philanthropic organizations, especially those focused on aging in the LGBTQ community, and was a board member for Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing. He has also been a member of recovery communities for over twenty years. Robert received his B.A. in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania and his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center.
