  • Bob comes from a farming background and has been growing flowers and vegetables for as long as he can remember.
  • Things always need fixing on a farm, where he developed a passion for DIY. He has completed extensive remodeling of two homes involving everything from framing and flooring to fitting kitchens and bathrooms.
  • In his 40s, Bob decided on a career change and, for 11 years, ran a professional carpentry shop. In addition to contract work, he also designed and built custom furniture.

Experience

As an engineer, Bob worked on everything from auto parts to oil rigs. The carpentry business that followed was hugely enjoyable but not particularly lucrative, so he supported his passion with consultancy work. At that time, Bob also began sharing his experience by writing for several online publications. He has over 1,500 informative articles to his credit for leading names like Bob Vila, Field and Stream, Popular Science, Yahoo Life, and MSN. His articles have also been syndicated to the Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, and other regional newspapers.

Education

Bob was schooled in the UK and took an apprenticeship at the age of 16. He also studied at Aylesbury College, in Buckinghamshire where he gained a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
