From Marine Corps Corporal to award-winning author: meet Rob Lofthouse! Rob went on to a successful international 40-year career in information technology retiring as a Vice President of Operations. But his story doesn't end there. Rob is an author of five biographies and historical books. He's a sought-after speaker, bestselling and award-winning author (including a prestigious 2022 MWSA Bronze Medal!). A South Dakota Fallen Hero’s Bridge Dedication was recently named after the war hero he wrote about in this book. He is a coach, editor, and book reviewer who empowers other writers. Rob's passion for service continues as a dedicated volunteer with several patriotic organizations in the Kansas City area (Vietnam Veteran’s Association Chapter 75 Treasurer; SAR Henry Leavenworth Chapter Treasurer; and General Chair of the George Washington Birthday Celebration.) He's also actively involved with the Military Writer's Society of America serving this past year as an Ambassador and The William “Rev. Bill” McDonald Scholarship Chair, and is a member of the Kansas Author's Club. Living between the rivers in Kansas City with his wife, Rob's story is one of dedication, leadership, and love for both history and helping others.
