Bob’s first impression of landscape architecture came at age 13, when he was given his first set of golf clubs by a family friend. From that point, he became keenly aware of the built environment through the subtle nuances of green contouring and the penalizing effect that precise tree placement can have on his game. Bob never made it to the PGA Tour. Instead, he became a licensed landscape architect and certified arborist and parlayed his study of golf courses and trees into work with several golf, planning, landscape and civil engineering firms.
