Bob was born in Columbus, OH. Bob's higher education started by his earning an associate degree in Science in Computer Electronics at Columbus State Community College and continued earning his B.A. in History at The Ohio State University and Masters in Library Science at Kent State University, OH. Why did Bob choose a career in Library science? "Love of learning. I have a wide variety of interests and working in a library places me in an environment where I have the opportunity to learn something new every day. I am interested in removing the barriers between people and the information they seek." As technology specialist in the Library, Bob is proving that successfully every day.

"In my free time, I enjoy studying history, spending time with my cats, tending to my aquariums, reading Orwell, playing chess, interior decorating and writing. I am an avid soccer fan. I also enjoy Formula One and other forms of racing, such as the World Rally Championship and the American Le Mans Series. Oval racing (e.g., NASCAR and Indy Cars) makes me sleepy. I never met a sports car or an airplane that I did not like…" Bob says.
