FAMILY: I was born in 1973, and grew up in Yukon, Oklahoma, where I met my wife Susan O’Hara (formerly Susan Holshouser). The two of us graduated from Yukon High School in 1991 and got married in 1995. We have two children, Mason and Morgan, who are both adults and have moved out. We are now empty nesters!

EDUCATION: In 2018, I earned a Master of Professional Writing degree from the University of Oklahoma. I have an Associates Degree in English/Journalism, and Bachelors of Organizational Leadership,

WORK: In 1995 I was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration, where I continue to work today. Over the past 30+ years I have done everything from work on a helpdesk providing technical support to serving as a Computer Specialist/LAN Administrator for a Flight Standards District Office, working in IT Security, and acting as a domain administritator and enterprise admin for FAA.gov. I currently work with many of my best friends replacing and deploying technology solutions, and spend most of my time developing custom solutions using PowerShell.

PODCASTS: I am an avid podcaster and host several shows including You Don’t Know Flack, Sprite Castle, Kooky Tales, Cactus Flack’s, Multiple Sadness, and Throwback Reviews. All of my podcasts are located at podcast.RobOHara.com.

HOBBIES: Old arcade games, old video games, and old computers. I also have interests in technology, computer security, and interactive fiction (text adventures). I have a strong interest in pop culture from the 1980s and greatly enjoy movies, music, and books. I am also a “collector of collections” and collect lots of things, including (but not limited to) Star Wars figures and play sets, Fisher Price Adventure People, vinyl records, toys, games, lunch boxes, and all sorts of random silt from the 1980s.

VANLIFE: In 2022 I purchased an old cargo van, converted it into a camper van, and created the popular YouTube channel BigRobsVan.com. All of my vanlife-related links can be found at BigRobsVan.com/Links.
