Robert J Shields currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife an son. He was born in New Jersey in the early 60s and grew up in New York. Close to his 16th birthday, he moved to Los Angeles, California. This move changed his set life-path, taking him out of his element. He did not go to college until his late 20s and during his last semester at university, he was offered an opportunity to spend it in Asia. Studying abroad for 6 months opened up doors and allowed him to teach English at universities and local business in China and in South Korea for nearly a decade. It changed his perspective on life forever. Robert holds a masters and a doctorate and still teaches today throughout the southwest.
