I first encountered Bob when I was working on a prepreg machine project. We got to know each other better when I paid him a visit at his facility, where he was working as part of a well-organized team. It didn’t take long for me to realize that Bob had a solid grasp of both process and machine technology. He was good at combining these areas with composites manufacturing. His broad knowledge in the area of prepregs and composites helped us create an efficient prepreg line. Years later I contacted Bob in his role as a consultant because I knew he could provide valuable insight into this project. Of course, one of my favorite memories is our trip up the mountain together!
