Biography
BIOGRAPHY
Robert Hesslink is an independent financial advisor and adjunct professor living in Portland, Oregon with his family.
Intrigued by the survivalist movement out of Southern Oregon, Robert wrote his first non-fiction book entitled Survival Fitness in 1982, while working on his master's degree at Portland State University. It was written for individuals looking to survive from an attack by the Soviet Union--an attack that never came and a book that, sadly, never got published.
An interest in writing soon returned after Robert moved back to Portland in 2014. Noticing that many of his investment clients suffered from preventable chronic diseases, Robert decided to apply his experience in life science research to write a book about the value of three simple health behaviors. His book, Eat Less, Sleep More, and Slow Down, has been well received with Robert appearing on KGW Channel 8 and a write-up in the Lake Oswego Review.
Robert's venture in fiction storytelling, At Face Value, began in the summer of 2019 while traveling in Japan. The presence of smart phones in daily life and the intrusion of facial recognition from private and public industry sparked an idea: an idea about the dangers of facial recognition and the loss of personal privacy and freedom.
