Bob conceived the idea for this art print 10 years ago - a first in a series of what he calls “a helpful book on one page that is also a piece of art.” This is a beautiful example of how Bob helps change the world, one idea at a time, one product at a time.

Bob lives in Bandon, OR and is the father of 3, the grandfather of 6, and a great friend to countless people. Beauty and health are two major themes that permeate his life: his work, his relationships, and his home. A very funny and creative man, his innovative ideas also often demonstrate his terrific sense of humor, his love and appreciation for life, and his pioneer spirit. Be on the watch for what this man is originating next!
