Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Bob started playing the drums at the age of 3. It's a common story for drummer types; he banged on pots and pans until he got a set of drums. In his late teens, Bob attended Indiana University and majored in music performance. Although, (and upon receiving a phone call in 1977), he moved to Los Angeles and quickly formed a relationship with A&R guru, Jon Koladner and Geffen Records. He worked with many of the artists on the label throughout the 80s. In 1985 Bob started working with the British pop band, Wang Chung. Together, they appeared in the William Friedkin directed movie (and corresponding music video), 'To Live and Die in L.A'. Tours, radio, television and personal appearances soon followed. These early experiences have helped to spawn a 35-plus year career in the music industry.
Bob currently resides in Santa Barbara, California where he keeps busy playing live dates, recording sessions, teaches, and performs workshops and clinics. Bob also serves as a marketing consultant for Yamaha's DTX electronic drum division and manages DTX electronic drum artist relations. Bob has just completed his first book published by the Hal Leonard Corporation entitled, “The Beginner's Guide to Electronic Drums.” In addition, he will be teaching a class at Musicians Institute in Los Angeles on drum and percussion technology.
