Bob was born and raised in Southern California. He attended the University of Redlands, graduating cum laude in 1978 with a Bachelor's Degree in English. He attended Loyola Law School's Evening Division while working full time as a Correctional Officer in the Maximum Security SHU unit at the California Institution for Men at Chino. He graduated with his Juris Doctorate from Loyola in 1985 and was admitted to practice in California in December, 1985.

In the Fall of 1982, Bob accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, a decision that completely changed the course of his life. Law school was no longer about preparation for a prestigious career; it was about preparation for a ministry of helping people who are financially broken.

Bob was an associate in a mid-sized Christian law firm in downtown Los Angeles for the first 10 years of his practice and later opened his own practice to be closer to home. From the beginning of his practice he has worked exclusively in the area of Debtor/Creditor law, representing debtors, creditors, Chapter 7 Trustees, Receivers and Assignees for the Benefit of Creditors.

Bob met his wife, Susan, at a church Bible Study. They were married in 1984 and have 4 Children, one of which went to be with the Lord following a miscarriage. His family relocated with him to North Carolina in 2006. Bob started with Gillespie & Murphy in 2007, working as the Office Manager for the Wilmington Office while he studied for the North Carolina Bar Exam. Bob was admitted to practice in North Carolina in August of 2008 and now exclusively represents debtors in consumer and small business Chapter 7 and 13 cases out of the Firm's Wilmington Office.
