Robert was a designer for Briercroft, Inc. for 18 years. He designed over 200 figurines that were sold in the United States, Canada, Japan, England, Germany, and Grand Cayman. Robert did research on the Christmas gift givers for 26 countries. He used this information to create a series of authentic figurines of Santa Claus, Father Christmas, St Nicolas and twenty-three other gift givers. He was the first to design a series of male angles; true to their Biblical descriptions. Robert admits that, if he were in need of angelic intervention, he would want an angel of substance.

Robert designed and built his Bavarian influenced studio. The tower on one end provides room for his larger sculptures. The studio stands near the home he shared with wife, Judy, and their black Labrador. Robert also designed and built his house which was originally a barn. The barn was lowered and what was once a hay mow is now a lovely living area overlooking a lake and the wooded landscape beyond. Bob did all of the work, from the lowering of the barn, to the masonry on the fireplace, to trimming out the inside. He started the work in 1970 and moved in in 1975.
