Much to his mother's dismay, Bob Rhodes has held more jobs than he can count on all his fingers and toes. Those jobs have provided him with an endless supply of "story stuff". Currently he teaches writing at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and Allegany College. He received an MFA from Bennington College in 1998. He and his wife have a 4 month old son, Griffen, who, he tells us, "insists that I mention his name". The author is currently finishing a novel titled A Smaller Country.
