After high school, Bob proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he dedicated several years as a police officer in New Lenox, Illinois, where he received numerous commendations and went on to complete his Master’s degree. Bob’s passion for service and education led him to a long career with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) as a dedicated educator and expert marksman. He ultimately concluded his professional career serving fellow veterans at the VA.

Outside of his career, Bob was a lifelong, avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. He cherished every moment spent with his family and his beloved boxer dogs. Known for his kind heart and great sense of humor, Bob left a lasting, unforgettable impression on everyone he met.
