About Bob

fact, the ad campaign was so successful, North Star Ice was bought out byI started out as a multi-keyboardist musician, touring from Minneapolis to Miami in Art Rock, Top 40 and Soul Review bands – experiencing all from being WSHE Miami’s “breakout act,” to getting burned out by the KKK in Georgia, to taking on the real “Sons Of Anarchy” in a Biker Bar brawl worthy of Patrick Swayze’s “Roadhouse,” to breaking the “color barrier” in my own version of “The Green Book.”

Then, as a copywriter in the Midwest, I wrote and produced humorous ad copy for “party time” bagged ice made by the “North Star Ice Co.” That’s right, I once sold ice to Minnesotans in the dead of Winter. In fact the campaign was so successful, "North Star Ice" was bought out by Canada’s “Arctic Glacier Premium Ice Co." So, one could venture, my humorous repartee once even sold ice to Canadians!

After that, I ventured to L.A. to serve as a script typist; assistant to Columbia Pictures Chairman; Casting intern at CBS; advertising assistant at J. Walter Thomson for the Fox Film Account; and finally Legal Assistant at Disney during the day, Office PA at night.

I returned to Minnesota to build a Shutterfly subsidiary’s online brand presence while working as a Cameraman for their “Life To The Max” segments. Right now, I serve on the Board of a Resource Management Partnership that oversees major Commodities Holdings, think a “low rent” version of “Succession”!

Unique traits: As an A.C.A. Level IV Whitewater Instructor, I volunteer in 1) introducing beginner students to the sport of whitewater recreation, 2) raising money for river conservation efforts and 3) under an Adaptive Sports Instructor Certification through Team River Runner, provide all veterans and their families an opportunity to find health, healing, community purpose, and new challenges through adventure and adaptive paddle sports! I also volunteer as a mechanic for a (Woman-owned business) Health Facility, wrenching gear and myself back into shape.
