Bob began his musical career as a bassist performing with jazz and contemporary ensembles. He has since expanded his horizons to include latin classical and finger-style solo guitar music and songs with guitar accompaniment. His extremely broad range of musical influences includes Brazilian guitar virtuoso Laurindo Almeida, 60's folk icon Fred Neil, country music great Johnny Cash.

Bob's songs with acoustic guitar accompaniment can best be described as passionate, sentimental human portraits of intimate relationships. His song Western Skies was written for his wife and was inspired by the beauty of the landscapes seen during their many miles of traversing the roadways and hiking trails of the American West.

Bob's most recent recording was an album of guitar duets composed by Laurindo Almeida. They were performed on a beautiful Manzanero guitar formerly owned by Almeida himself which he considered his favorite guitar.

Cancer took Bob from us in 2022. He asked that his memorial service be a celebration of his life through his music. Family and friends gathered to hear songs about his childhood, marriage, parenthood, teaching, and striving to accomplish goals. He is missed but the memories and the music stay with us.
