Bob started his career on the family farm and doing odd jobs for neighbors. It was in this setting where he learned to work with a smile and celebrate even the little victories.

He took this can-do attitude to a variety of engineering positions at AlliedSignal, DIT-MCO International, Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Honeywell, and other companies, and applies it at Actronix every single day.

With experience in management and quality assurance, Bob’s particular areas of expertise include the design and manufacturing of electronics in avionics, medical devices, and military applications. Bob is a Six Sigma Quality Blackbelt, is certified for medical devices by the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society, and has held a DOE Q security clearance.
