Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Bob took a wealth of construction knowledge from Benson High School with him when he entered the US Coast Guard. There he added to his skills, while inspecting construction projects on numerous assignments around the world. After retiring from the Coast Guard, Bob became a field supervisor for a regional home builder. As he built relationships with the new home owners, he was frequently asked where they could find a company that specialized in handyman projects. Intrigued by these questions, Bob moved away from new construction and launched Oregon’s Home Handyman, LLC in the fall of 1997.

In January 2008, Bob filled in for the regular host on the home improvement radio show, Around the House, and now the rest is history. Every Saturday from Noon to 2:00, on FM News 101 KXL, he takes calls on air from listeners throughout Oregon and Washington seeking advice on maintenance, repair, renovation, and remodeling of their home. Handyman Bob is quickly becoming a trusted source of information for all projects “Around the House”.
