Bob has played in various types of bands for close to 30 years, ranging from country to rock. He played in his first band when he was only 15-years-old. He grew up a die-hard country fan thanks to his Dad who was a big fan, and loved to play the classics like Hank Williams, Web Pierce and Johnny Cash. While playing with the band Roadkill, he opened for Black Oak Arkansas at the Freedom Rally and also played a short stint with Ridin' Fences. Most recently, he played with a local band called "Inn Kahootz" for a total of 8 years. Bob would say his favorite type of music is Southern Rock but he enjoys all types of music. Bob graduated from North Mahaska High School in 1979 and has a business degree from William Penn University.
