FAMILY: I was born in 1973, and grew up in Yukon, Oklahoma, where I met my wife Susan O’Hara (formerly Susan Holshouser). The two of us graduated from Yukon High School in 1991 and got married in 1995. We have two children, Mason (born in 2001) and Morgan (born in 2005), and two cats (Carol and Bobby).

EDUCATION: I have an Associates Degree in English/Journalism, a Bachelors of Organizational Leadership, and a Master of Professional Writing degree from the University of Oklahoma.

WORK: In 1995 I was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration, where I still work today. Over the past 20+ years I have served as a Helpdesk/Technical Support Analyst, Computer Specialist/LAN Administrator, Senior Network Engineer, IT Security Specialist, member of the IT Communication Department, and Domain Admin/Enterprise Administrator.

BOOKS: I have written and published a couple of books and am working on a couple more. You can find out more about my books and purchase them by clicking on the links in the “My Books” menu to your left. You will also find a link to my portfolio there.

PODCASTS: I am an avid podcaster and host several shows including You Don’t Know Flack, Sprite Castle, Cactus Flack’s, Multiple Sadness, and Throwback Reviews. All of my podcasts are located at podcast.RobOHara.com.

HOBBIES: Old arcade games, old video games, and old computers. I also have interests in technology, computer security, and interactive fiction (text adventures). I have a strong interest in pop culture from the 1980s and greatly enjoy movies, music, and books. I am also a “collector of collections” and collect lots of things, including (but not limited to) Star Wars figures and play sets, Fisher Price Adventure People, vinyl records, toys, games, lunch boxes, and all sorts of random silt from the 1980s.
