Meet Sovereign Mercy →A little about me
I’m Robert Wescott. I’ve been a father across generations, worked in technology and media, and found my way to driving a school bus, baking bread, and making things.
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.
Work. Wisdom. Wonder. Something to keep practicing.
