Bob was born in Calgary where he spent his youth on the Bow River with his brothers. A mechanical aptitude and an early career choice as a heavy-duty mechanic lead to a life-time interest in tinkering with anything mechanical in nature. A fondness of camping lead Bob to build of his own recreational vehicles. He had various employment positions throughout Calgary but retired in 1994 from ATCO Gas Company as a Building Operator.
