Being that he grew up in the "Motor City Capital" of metropolitan Detroit, it only seamed fit for him to head in that direction. After graduating from high school, Bob was lucky enough to get hired at a local design firm to begin his career as an automotive designer.

During the 23 + years as an automotive designer, Bob has had the honor to learn about and design most vehicles from bumper to bumper. From power train to body to interiors, he has covered it all.

Enjoying his daily job as a Senior Designer for Daimler Chrysler, Bob also pursued his passion for his artwork. His interest pushed him to pursuit the airbrush. An art media that he had yet to study.

He picked up the airbrush back in 1995 and received further training from Craig Fraser of "Air Syndicate" in California. Bob says he will always be grateful to Craig for helping him develop his career in the airbrush industry. A great friendship that should last forever.

Since that time, Bob has been trying to bring the West Coast paint and Kustomizing style to the East Coast. He opened up his own kustom shop and airbrush studio back in 1999.

Besides his everyday life as a Designer by day and a painter by night, Bob also is one of the airbrush instructors for ASET (Automotive Spray Equipment Technologies) out of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Bob continues to work on his airbrush techniques, and strives to develop himself into one of the premier airbrush artists. A never quit learning attitude is the key.

Over his career, his clients have included:
Kid Rock, Tiger Woods, Olivia Newton John, Dodge, Mopar, Cingular Wireless, Sony Pictures, JBL, Infinity, Owens Corning, and others.

He has also won the 2006 House of Kolor "Prestigious Painter of the Year" award.

His work has also been featured in such national magazines as:
Airbrush Action, Mopar Now, Viper Quarterly, Lowrider, Auto and Sound, and many more.

As his good buddy Craig always says "Live to Paint - Paint to Live"
