Following a career managing the investment department for a series of trust companies in Madison, Bob retired in 2015. In addition to his supervisory duties, Bob was also responsible for managing the investment portfolios for a broad range of clients, including individuals, corporations, and not-for-profit entities.

Bob served as Treasurer for eight years at the Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation, an organization formed by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin for the purpose of making grants to charitable groups which provide legal services to Wisconsin residents who are otherwise underserved by the legal community. Bob also served for several years as Treasurer of the Middleton Hills Neighborhood Association and is currently a Board member of the APT Foundation.

Bob earned a BA in English and American literature from Miami University in Ohio, receiving induction into Phi Beta Kappa. He then earned his MA at the University of Michigan with the same major. This was followed by further graduate work in literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before Bob shifted his focus and began a career in investment management.

After many decades of enjoying the outstanding performances at American Players Theatre, Bob joined the Board in 2014.
