About The Author

Robert Bulka grew up in Bayonne, New Jersey, one of six kids in a loud, energetic household. Baseball was his first passion—he played for Marist High School, County College of Morris, and the Otto Mack Anchors in the Eastern States Baseball League. He later worked on Wall Street at Deutsche Bank, Broadridge, and J.P. Morgan. On 9/11, he was in midtown Manhattan, just months after his office had been blocks from the World Trade Center.

Back in After a difficult divorce and personal struggles, Robert faced years of anxiety, depression, and legal troubles over child support. He drove a taxi for years to get by. In desperation, he moved to the Pacific Northwest with his brother’s help. There he found steady work in food production at Mondelez, discovered disc golf, and began performing stand-up comedy and spoken word in Portland venues like the Laurel Thirst Public House. Now that his children are grown, Robert continues to write, perform, and play disc golf in the Pacific Northwest.
