"...a writer of stories and a teller of tales"


  Mountain Man Bob creates and tells his own stories from the mountains. Every once in a while he will recall some of the older tales from the turn of the last century. He takes pride in the fact that all of his stories are true, based on the remote possibility that there exists a slim chance of possible fact. Audiences have marveled at his sense of humor, his creativeness and how he manages to relate his stories to their everyday lives and past experiences.

He is a writer of stories and a teller of tales.

His stories about the South Central Community and its people will keep you in stitches. Stories about Crazy Willie, the Coffie Boys and Bob's experiences growing up will make you feel as though you are there and experiencing the same thing.

In 1997 he was selected as one of eight semi-finalists to compete in the National Storytelling competition held in Hillsboro, OH and finished third. In 2000 he was again selected and captured First Place.

In March of 2001 he brought forth to the public his new invention - The Modie-Harp. This is a mountain musical instrument made from a toilet lid and seat. He has now incorporated this musical instrument into his storytelling with a new line of stories and soon even songs.

Stories have always been a part of his life. He started telling professionally in 1994 and will venture forth to spin his mountain, children, ghost, or inspirational tales to any group, organization or audience.
