A "programmer's programmer", Bob could be counted on to be two steps ahead of whatever technology problem arose, and already have a solution mapped out. As a manager, he made his expectations clear and forthright, and his department always ran smoothly and reliably, and he was quite successful at keeping our organization's attention on long-term goals while maintaining the agility to deal with day-to-day challenges.", and "I was a member of Bob’s architecture team at Geomagic for one year. Bob is simply the most knowledgeable software engineer I have had the pleasure to work with. Bob has architected a framework to expose a very large legacy codebase that is the model of Object Oriented design. Bob masters new technologies very quickly as he demonstrated by rapidly absorbing .Net and WPF. I learned a lot from Bob during the time I spent on his team. As a manager, Bob lead by example and treats his team firmly and with great respect. I would not hesitate to work with Bob again."
