Additional background:

Upon graduation from Bethany College Bob entered the United States Navy through the Officer Candidate Program.

Completing his active duty service, Bob was quickly recruited by a major Fortune 500 company and would spend the next eleven years in a variety of field and corporate management positions before leaving to enter the financial services industry. Throughout his diversified career, Bob continued to maintain his affiliation with the Navy through the Navy Reserves. Following a cumulative 25 years of service, including a tour as a Commanding Officer of an Intelligence unit engaged in combating the war on terrorism, he retired at the rank of Captain in 2005.
