Robert Muirhead graduated from Boston University&#39;s College of Communication with a BS in Journalism in 2006, where he interned for local Massachusetts radio stations and publications covering the Mass. state house.  Following his graduation, Rob wrote freelance stories for the Glastonbury Reminder before being hired by the Journal Inquirer in Oct. 2006.  There he worked for over five-and-a-half years covering central Connecticut towns, crime, and court cases until coming to Patch in July 2012.

Born and raised in Manchester, Rob has spent almost his entire adult life (both personally and professionally) in central Connecticut.  While he loves travelling around the country--from the sweeping grandeur of the Colorado Rockies to the sparkling beaches of Florida--it&#39;s always nice to come back home.

For the moment, Rob and his wife live in Manchester.<br><br><b>Your Beliefs</b><br>At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. We hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will cause our editors to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.<br><br><b>Politics </b>

I am a registered independent voter.  I believe it is important to fully educate yourself on whatever issue or candidate you&#39;re voting on, and disagree with voting based on party lines.<br><br><b>Religion</b>

Born and raised in a progressive Christian family, I think of myself as something of a Zen Catholic.
