Community Spotlight — Robert Dean Hertenstein
I want to take a moment to shine a light on my friend @Robert Dean Hertenstein , and the work he’s doing in the world. @Renee Chambers-Liciaga and I have known Robert for many years, going all the way back to our Starlight Express days. That shared chapter of life — the intensity, the creativity, the discipline, the long days and late nights — forged bonds that don’t fade with time. They deepen. Robert has always been someone who sees the whole picture. Not just the performance, but the people. Not just the moment, but the meaning behind it. Through his work with RDH Productions, Robert brings decades of experience as a creative director, producer, and show doctor — helping productions find their footing, refine their voice, and reconnect with their purpose. He has a rare ability to step into complex creative environments, honor what’s already there, and then elevate it with clarity, insight, and heart. But what Renee and I appreciate most isn’t just his professional brilliance — it’s who he is. Thoughtful. Encouraging. Curious. Grounded. The kind of person who listens deeply, asks good questions, and genuinely wants to see others succeed. When Robert shared that his reason for joining the Living Strong Community was “to be part of a community that I can encourage but that also inspires me,” I nodded immediately. That’s Robert. That’s the exchange he lives by. Having him here feels like a full-circle moment — old friends, shared history, and a new space for connection, reflection, and growth.
