Rob Switzer
I got my B.A. from The University of Michigan-Dearborn, double-majoring in Philosophy and Anthropology. While there, I spent a year as a columnist, and then two years as Perspectives Editor at the school's student paper, The Michigan Journal.
I then went on to law school at The University of Toledo, where I continued to write columns. I have published over 100 columns, and have written a handful of news and humor articles.
I recently passed the Michigan bar exam and began practicing law in the Detroit area (primarily in criminal defense and family law), but I love writing, so I still like to do it sometimes in my spare time.
