Robert Charles Burdett (Bob) is a writer, author, and playwright. His major interests are genealogy, architecture, history, and religion. He is a native of North Dakota but has lived in Omaha, Nebraska since 1970.
Burdett is a graduate of Bismarck Junior College (1968), North Dakota State University (BSIE, 1970), Creighton University (MBA, 1975), and the Archdiocese of Omaha Catholic Biblical School (2003-7).
In an earlier life, Burdett was a statistical quality control engineer for Western Electric (Ma Bell’s manufacturing unit), Lucent Technologies, and Avaya. This, in part, explains his strange writing style (e.g., all those tables and section headings).
A more complete biography can be found in "BS2: An Autobiography."
