Why I Wear Green

I am honored to work alongside the best people – my colleagues and UND alumni – day in and day out to make a difference in the lives of others.
Overview
Bob taps into his mantra, “efficient, effective, and productive,” often as he develops policy and processes to improve operational efficiencies. The UND Alumni Association & Foundation’s technology infrastructure is continuously improving and evolving under Bob’s analysis and recommendations.
When Bob needs to unwind from leading his large Operations team, he likes to golf, spend time with family and friends at his lake home, and watch sports.
