Besides his role as an officer on the Board of Directors of IANDS, Robert is a former award-winning software engineer for IBM, and has taught chemistry at a number of Waldorf schools.

Despite this background in science, however, he has decided that the traditional scientific way of approaching these questions – investigating the brain’s workings in the physical world as the starting point – leaves too much out of the picture. In this you can’t get there from here realization, Robert and Suzanne have focused on reports of NDEs as the enlightening path toward gaining an understanding of the relationship between brain and mind.
