R. R. Davis grew up in a small town in northeast Ohio where he spent his childhood climbing trees and getting lost in his imagination. He went on to earn his BFA in drawing and MAT in Early Childhood Education. As a curious and restless young man, Robert followed the wind and moved throughout the country to work a variety of jobs, including environmental educator, art teacher, clown, starving artist, storyteller, outdoor adventure guide, and countless temporary jobs to satisfy his lust for life. After spending three years in the Caribbean, he eventually settled in the mountains of western North Carolina. Robert began writing as a result of encouragement from various college professors’ off-hand remarks concerning his out-of-the-box approach to essays, which mirrored his approach to life.
