Professional Bio
Back in the early 1970’s, “Bobby” picked up his father’s Kodak Xl33 Super 8 camera, lined up his toys, and animated them battling each other. An A/V Club nerd from the beginning who kidded himself into thinking that he could, one day, be a veterinarian, but soon realized that he couldn’t do that “𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜”
At Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA, he studied to be a TV reporter, got an internship at his hometown TV station in Shreveport, LA and once he sat down to write a script for broadcast, the blank stare at the typewriter keys and writer’s block gave him an epiphany -- “𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙏𝙑 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙧!”
Bob spent 26+ years as a television photojournalist for TV news stations in Shreveport, New Orleans and Denver. He was the Media Production Specialist for the City of Golden, Colorado for 13 years. Bob’s duties at Golden included managing, scheduling, and producing content for the city’s PEG channel, GCO.tv-Golden Community Television, producing video projects for public and in-house use, directing City Council meetings for broadcast, and keeping the citizens informed through Golden’s streaming channel and the various social media outlets.
Bob also has a freelance business, 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, and for the past 20+ years he's worked with national network news, non-profit and corporate clients, such as; America's Most Wanted, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, NBC NewsChannel, ESPN, the National Hockey League, My Classic Car, The Food Network, Business Now TV, the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, Volvo Construction Equipment, Denver Health and the Zarlengo Foundation. Bob also works occasionally as a contract videographer/editor with the City & County of Denver.
Bob married his college sweetheart, Karen, in 1985 and they have two amazing grown sons, Taylor and Connor.
