Bob's broadcasting career began with radio in 1963 to 1967 in New Mexico. He went through the U.S. Defense Department's broadcast journalism school in the Army from 1967 to 1970, returning to civilian life and a position on WELO-AM-FM in Tupelo in '70.
            In 1971, Bob felt TV news was the future and decided to take a job in Huntsville, AL, with WAAY-TV, moving next to Memphis for a five-year period, '72-'77, on WHBQ-TV's Eyewitness News.
            His next broadcasting job was in 1978 when he worked at the Christian Broadcasting Network until 1982.  Bob spearheaded the beginning of CBN's news broadcast.  In 1982, Bob and his wife, Anita, moved to the Delta for WABG-TV as news director for two years, when the news operation was in Greenwood.
            From '84-'86, Bob went to Dallas to go to school, but returned to WABG-TV in 1986 and anchored the 6 and 10 news until 1995.  He worked for another station in 1996 to '98 and then took a job in Florida from '98 to 2000.
            Bob and Anita moved to the Phoenix area in 2000, and then he retired to the Ripley, MS, area in 2004, coming back now to WABG-TV in January, 2008.
