THE PERSON BEHIND THE SAGE DAD

Hi, I’m Robert.

I’m Robert Wescott—a dad, baker and maker in Flemington, New Jersey. I’ve worked in technology and media, driven a school bus, and been a father across generations.

The work here grows out of that life: time with my children, a question at the kitchen table, a loaf that could stand a little taller.
