Really excited to have Bob on The Handsome today, he's married to the wonderfully talented Joy from oh joy! I had heard somewhere before that he was a surgeon, which is just so legit! A surgeon + amazing designer = 100% awesome couple! Thanks Bob & Joy!
Please tell us a little about you and what you do: I am a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, specializing in spinal deformity in children. I also love bad action movies.
What are your thoughts about blogs + blogging? I think it's awesome! Blogs are the magazines for the digital age--and they are much more current, focused, and regularly updated than the former. They have transformed what people actually do on a computer--from watching cat tricks on YouTube to reading genuinely inspired content from genuinely inspired people.
How many hours a day does your wife spend blogging? It seems like all the time, but I'm not home when she usually is doing it so I am not sure.
What do you do during this time? I am making the world straighter, one child at a time.
Any silly/crazy/funny stories or experiences related to blogging you'd like to share with the readers: Not too many crazy stories, but I know never to eat any food until a photo is taken of it first. Sometimes I try to get a fork in there before my wife can take a picture, which usually makes her go a bit crazy. I know, simple pleasures...
Is there any one thing that annoys you most about having a blogger wife? Above, as sometimes I just want to eat my hamburger without it being photographed first.

Awww, I love this series! That's so cool he's a pediatric orthopedic surgeon!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see an interview with Mr. French of Bliss fame. His blog, Stinkbug, is hil-ar-i-ous!
I love this series too. The no eating before photographing story made me laugh - and it goes so well with the photo! :)
ReplyDeleteWho won the Louloudo giveaway and the Much Love Illy prize?

this is easily becoming one of my favorite series!!!
ReplyDeletei think you should interview marvin, husband sandy of sandyalamode and tyler, husband of sydney from the daybook. both are such cuuuute couples!!!
I had a little laugh when he talked about the not being able to eat until a photo is taken of the dish first! I'm the same way...poor Anthony ;)
ReplyDeleteI am loving this series! Joy is such a force in the design and blogging world so it is nice to hear from her other half. Plus, Bob always has such a good eye on his "Oh Bob" picks on Joy's blog.
ReplyDeleteHis comment about teasing his wife, and sticking the fork in there before the photo...haha...why do guys love so much to tease us..and make us go crazy? They love it!
ReplyDeletehahahaha i LOVED his answers!! marvin is the same way with the food... i always have to take a pic of it before he eats, sometimes he gets frustrated b/c the food gets cold LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful, and it's true that blogs are this generation's magazines! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic idea for a serious...I LOVE it!!

hilarious answers. why do i have a feeling my bf would say the exact same thing? great post!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, so true about food pics. B is the same way with me when I take pics of food. He knows to wait until I snap a few pics from different angles before digging in.
ReplyDeleteVery cute series! Love to see the guys that go with the gals! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post! I always wondered about the other halves behind blogs, so thank you for sharing their stories!
ReplyDeleteBob's answers were great. He is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! My husband can totally sympathize with the whole...don't eat that...food thing.
ReplyDeleteawe what a sweer couple. thanks for sharing!

I love this series, Danni!
ReplyDeleteHa! This is hilarious (^•^) it made my day! Hooray for hubby's who let their blogging wives snap photos of their meals, even when they're really hungry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a killer combination of couple intelligence!!!! Wow...I feel intimated by all of the brain power in this post :) Nice to meet you Joy :)
ReplyDeleteThis is by far one of my favorite series ever! LOVE peaking behind the curtain of all my favorite bloggers and reading these lovely interviews.
ReplyDeleteI love his food answer! My boyfriend also gets annoyed when I take pictures of everything before we eat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! :)
Ha! My husband just relates to all these men. He would be a good one to feature. He's extremely logical and rational so this whole blogging thing just boggles his mind. Always supportive though.
ReplyDeletei love bob's column 'oh bob!' on joy's blog. they're an adorable couple. a pretty amazing (and inspiring) job to have as well!
ReplyDeleteHe is funny!
ReplyDeleteAw, I wish Bob would have said something about his 'oh Bob' section on Joy's blog! Other than that, love this interview and I can't wait for the ones to come!
ReplyDeleteHe is so funny! Love what he said about waiting for the picture before eating. That's so true!

ReplyDeleteenjoyed your cat video comment.
also, the stuff you said immediately after that was pretty inspired itself!

ReplyDeleteBob, my brother had a spinal fusion a few years ago- one vertebra removed and 8 screwed to the rod. A. MAZING. Very impressed with those in your field- my bro might owe his ability to walk to you people!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love it! It's so much fun reading the guys' perspectives and I have to say, the last answer in this post sounds SO familiar...because it's what every guy who hangs around me is always thinking! :p

I really enjoy reading these interviews! Joy is amazing and I love following her on her blog and Pinterest. It's so fun to see another side of these women. Thanks for doing it!
ReplyDeleteThe other day I was watching secrets of a stylist and kept thinking, these people seem SO familiar to me. Turns out, I saw Bob here on your blog, too funny! The episode of that show featuring them was pretty fantastic.
