Robert Jenkins Author

Robert Jenkins was born and raised in Walthamstow, east London, where he learned to swim in the city fountains. He travelled the world with his wife and children and back at home frequently worked with some of the most dangerous and notorious gangs and gangsters and the most damaged and beautiful people in society. He moved to New Zealand where he ran a boarding house for nearly 100 teenage boys. He made them run laps, box, make their beds, value loyalty and be comfortable in hilarious chaos. He read them poetry and encouraged each to learn a musical instrument although he plays none himself. He made them eat cabbage and salad and read books. In return they made him whisky and gin and taught him to shoot and hunt and marinate a cray fish. Today Rob works again with those on the wrong side of society, a place where he is comfortable.
