He serves on various local community and school committees and graciously gives his time back to the local community. Bob is married to his wife, Marti, who he quickly admits is the rock of his life and allows him to do all he does.

In 2014 and again in 2023, she was recognized as Salesperson of the Year by Carpets Plus COLORTILE at their annual convention.
