Robert is a graduate of Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science, Veterinary Science, and a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. He is part owner of Tejas Veterinary Clinic.

Robert lives in Corpus Christi with his wife Julie and together they spend time enjoying their 6 grandchildren. 

“I started my Blog in 2009, I had been in the habit of sending an email to the congregation that occasionally included an article. My daughter (Lauren Perkins Underwood) suggested I write a blog so I did. The blog has evolved over the years and at this time contains about 600 articles. 

I always sign off of my articles as “Uncle Rob.” Several of the kids I know referred to me as “Uncle Rob” so I adopted that moniker.

The blog has also gone worldwide. There are over 70,000 views from almost every country in the world. I realize religious articles aren’t for everyone but they are for some.

My stimulus for writing articles has been from my daily Bible reading, preparing for classes that I teach and sitting in classes that others teach as a student.

In addition, as you will see, I have used my work as a Veterinarian to illustrate biblical principles.

My great friend and mentor Robert Harkrider is the one who encouraged me to publish the articles in book form. 

I have served over 30 years as an Elder with David Smitherman and he has really shaped my thinking. Although we don’t agree on every single thing I have great respect for him and have learned so much from him. I love the years I spent with him.

I sincerely hope that in some small way you might benefit from the way I view the scriptures. To God be the glory!”
