FULL BIO

Dr. Robert Bess is a near-death survivor, technologist, and Kingdom-minded entrepreneur with over four decades in the tech and building industries. His debut book, Preserved, is a brutally honest memoir that chronicles thirteen near-death experiences, generational trauma, addiction, and the relentless grace of God that kept him alive when he should have died many times over.

Raised in a home marked by abuse, rejection, and destructive words spoken over his life, Robert grew up believing he was worthless—even as he excelled academically and professionally. Over the years, he survived everything from drowning and violent assaults to car accidents and self-destructive choices. Each time, God intervened.

Today, Robert leads multiple companies, mentors Christian entrepreneurs in Las Vegas, and shares his story to help people break cycles of trauma, reclaim their God-given identity, and understand that if they’re still breathing, their story is not over. His life message is simple and sobering: you’re not alive by accident—you’re preserved on purpose.

SAMPLE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. Your book is titled Preserved. After everything you’ve survived, what does that word mean to you now?
2. You share thirteen near-death experiences in the book. Can you briefly describe one that completely changed the trajectory of your life?
3. You talk a lot about the power of words—things like, “You’re worthless. You’ll never be anything.” How did those lies shape you growing up?
4. There’s a moment where your mother says, “Thank God you’re alive.” What happened around that scene, and why does it still stay with you today?
5. You often say, “Survival isn’t the goal—breaking the cycle is.” What does that look like in practical terms for someone coming out of trauma?
