Born on a Friday the Thirteenth in a Naval hospital on the anniversary of the formation of the U.S. Navy, Rob considers it not merely his duty, but his birthright to swear like a sailor. Please take that into consideration before sampling any of his wares and getting surprised. After graduating with a B.S. in Creative Writing from Eastern Michigan University, Northrup used his skills to make tacos for a year, then stocked groceries, performed data entry, delivered pizza, courted and married a Texan, and returned to Michigan.

Currently Rob works as a Product Data Specialist at a company which, if you saw it, would make you think, "Gosh, any similarity between these actual people, places or companies and the ones depicted in Dungeons & Dayjobs are purely coincidental, because that's a work of fiction. And because I keep seeing disclaimers like that prominently all over." Honestly, I like my job. Please don't send me back to making tacos. I promise I'll enter product data like a good specialist!
