Robert Prager was born on May 16, 1955.

He then attended nearby Wayne State University from 1973 until 1975 with a declared major in Journalism. After dropping out of Wayne State University, Prager worked in various surveying, construction, and road-building jobs. He returned to Wayne State University as a student in 1979 and graduated a year later Phi Beta Kappa in 1980 with a B.A. in English.
