My name is Rob Gould. I'm a single, urban dwelling advertising geek. I'm a new media junky, trend spy, art world dabbler, and a sartorial striver with a considerable appetite for news and pop culture in all forms. I like to talk. Some people like me. My personal house of urban angst currently migrates between Portland, ME & NYC but has traveled with me over the years to Boston, Burlington VT, London, San Diego, Rockland, ME & Santa Fe. Much like a Gulfstream with tasteful decor and a vast insecurity complex. You can find me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/rob.gould, Twitter: @bobbbyg and Instagram: www.instagram.com/bobbbyg. You can also find the professional (and very serious) me at www.bobbbyg.com.
