Bob first moved to the San Juan Island in 1977 fresh out of college to work for a Surveying and Engineering firm.  He lived on Orcas until the mid-80s when he moved to Seattle. For the next twenty years Bob sailed in the San Juan Island and seasonally moored his sailboat in Friday Harbor.  In 1999 he joined the United Nations Development Program and was assigned to train the National survey staff in Bhutan.  For five years Bob trained the Bhutanese surveyors in current digital mapping technology while mapping the 52 urban areas. The mapping was for community housing and infrastructure development.  In 2005 he repatriated purchasing the survey company from the individual who originally hired him out of college in 1977 becoming owner of a firm in Friday Harbor.  Since 2005 Bob has worked with the San Juan Islands affordable housing community by providing surveying, mapping, and platting on Lopez and San Juan Islands.
