Bob was born on December 15, 1949 in Mount Holly, NJ.

He started working for his dad during the summers as early as his high school years. He then worked as an elevator mechanic apprentice after graduating from college, to become a certified Elevator Construction Mechanic and proceeded his father as owner and president and worked in partnership with his brother-in-law, Rick Templeton, until December 2020.
