Robert Jystad is an award-winning writer and communications law attorney, living and working in Southern California. He focused his legal career on wireless communications and served as President of the California Wireless Association. Prior to law school, Robert was an editor in New York City, working first as a production editor for Plenum Publishing, and then as a managing editor and administrative director for Professor George Fletcher at Columbia University Law School. He has graduate degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary, Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs, and UCLA School of Law. Robert has had great success with his academic writing, winning top awards at both Princeton and Columbia. He lives with his beautiful wife, Konnie, his two boujee terriers, Fendi and Prada, aptly named by their mom, and finally, his Norwegian Forest Cat, Puff, who is an awnry and really old cat, and who like a good Norwegian complained the whole time Robert was writing. Robert's remarkable chess-mastering daughter Kaia is in medical residency at the Balboa Naval Medical Center in San Diego. She beats her dad now on a regular basis.
