Bob dedicated over fifty years to education. For more than thirty years, he served North East Independent School District as teacher, coach, counselor, and principal, working at Windcrest Elementary, Nimitz Middle School, Roosevelt High School, and Center School. For more twenty years, he worked in Catholic schools. His career began as a speech and government teacher at Central Catholic High School.

Bob received awards recognizing his dedication and innovation from both the public and private school systems. He would often say, “You never work a day in your life if you do the thing that you love.” For him, it was teaching. And all those who learned from him, his colleagues, students, parents, friends, and family, carry those lessons with them.
