Interesting fact: Robert Invented a high pressure reactive armor hydration system for troops in desert combat on June 2 at 4:00pm. By 5:00pm that day, it was forgotten.

Robert McGregor is an avid cyclist and poet. He comes from a family of six children and once ate a sandwich that belonged to Sarah McLachlan. In his role as a database administrator at Free The Children, Robert is able to combine his love of volunteering and meeting people with his love for computer programming and relational databases. Robert is an ex-Hot-Rodder who retains his fondness of the mechanics, but not the cost and tedium of the hobby. His son Damian was 5.2 lbs. when this was written. In the summer of 2008, Robert was part of a team of scientists that won the Mississauga business technology award for best new environmental technology. The technology was a low-energy method of distilling azeotropic mixtures of organic chemicals and water. If asked what is needed to fix the city of Toronto, he would not recommend foot-press-operated garbage bins; he would recommend better education, an understanding for the suffering and injustice in the rest of the world and more hotdog stands. The world for Robert is like an onion; it has many layers and tastes terrible unless you're very hungry, and the deeper you go, the hungrier you have to be. Whether riding, programming, working on cars or writing his Free The Children bio, Robert is always smiling and embracing the small joys of life.
