The Reluctant Receptionist

robert can’t decide if he’s a new yorker or an oklahoman or a baltimorean. or even, really, an indiana(an). originally from ponca city, oklahoma, robert went to school in indiana, where he became a little bit punk and a little bit queer and very much a gay activist. then, while in baltimore for grad school, the bit of him that was a classical singer kind of took over. now it’s on to new york, where he hopes to find in himself a fusion of all those identities, where he’ll be a queer punk gay activisit classical singer. robert likes to cook, to read, and to refer to himself in the third person.
