Before joining Council, Bob worked for almost 30 years in several business sectors including computer and technical manufacturing and construction. Bob is a fourth-generation resident of the Town of Halton Hills. Bob entered public life with a goal to help the Town balance the different perspectives between town and country residents, and long-time residents compared with new arrivals.

He has about half a dozen hives, which allow him to spend time outdoors, pursuing an environmentally-friendly interest.
