The Seattle, Washington, native’s first job was as a traveling musician about a thousand years ago (that’s a rough estimate) and he began his broadcasting career in 1978 in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to the Angels and RockHounds, he was the radio voice of the Odessa Jackalopes hockey club for the first 11 years of the club’s existence.
Along with his broadcast duties, Bob serves as the RockHounds’ Director of Publications. In 2016 he was honored to be (on the coattails of team owners Miles Prentice and Bob Richmond and general manager Monty Hoppel) named to the Texas League Hall of Fame.

Business Administration
I have been attacked by a goose and squirrel while golfing. I truly enjoy a great murder/crime show. Talents in my family include enduro/motocross and I have done so since I was four years old. I rode the bike right out of the living room, off the porch and into the front yard! The closest safari experience I had was at Disneyworld Hotel Africa. Giraffes and zebras would walk by as we ate waffles on the balcony. I had a job in high school driving cars for a dealership from Alamogordo, NM to El Paso, TX. I got paid $50/car and I was banking at 16. I have seen Jon Bon Jovi 4x, Metallic, Dokken, AC/DC, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Poison, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Quiet Riot, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Scorpions, George Straight, Kenny, Clint. Yes, I am a rocker. I have appeared in a Shania Twain & Diamond Rio music video.
