Robert Carr received a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Engineering from Stanford, and has been an entrepreneur, manager, and inventor in the PC software and web software business in the forty-odd years since then. He received various industry awards for ground-breaking products in the PC software field in 1984 and mobile pen computing in 1992. He has been an active member of the San Francisco Swedenborgian church since 1995, twice serving as council president (and is currently the Treasurer). He is also a board member for the Center for Swedenborgian Studies, the Swedenborg Foundation, and Wayfarers Chapel (where he is also Treasurer). On boards such as these he tends to gravitate to the business and operations areas.
Robert is married to Andrea LoPinto, and they are blessed with two adult children they raised in the San Francisco Swedenborgian Church. His passions include outdoor sports (road cycling, skiing, and backpacking), reading, and living a life of uses. Trained as an engineer, he always wished to study more in the humanities. In June 2022, he fulfilled this dream by receiving a masters of Liberal Arts at Stanford—his thesis examines American cultural fears of computers in the 1950s and 1960s.
