Bob’s career started with a 2-year service electronics degree and a move to Minneapolis to find a job. There were three doors to a business he was interviewing at. Luckily, he walked through the wrong door. The rental department was also hiring, and they paid .50 cents more an hour than the service position. At 20 years old, this seemed like an easy decision. Since then, Bob has worked in almost every role in the live events industry. He’s worked in the warehouse and as a delivery driver. He was the director of an in-house AV property, has been a show tech, and managed operations. He knows audio, lighting, video, and multi-image (which was used when there wasn’t video). Bob has “been there, done that” for just about everything, including hiring a Lear jet to fly a piece of equipment on a Sunday night to save a client’s show. When Tyler founded Evolve, Bob was employee #4. He’s been with Evolve for 11 ½ years in multiple roles. After Tyler’s passing, Bob became the CEO. Thrust into leading Evolve, Bob played to his strengths and empowered employees to bring up ideas to make Evolve better. He then uses his 30+ years of experience to discern what the best options are, and how to make them happen. He always inspires his team to never settle for “good enough”. Outside of the office you can find him in Columbia shorts and a fishing shirt, grilling, spending time with his family, catching fish with his wife, or on the golf course with some of his friends and coworkers.
