Bobby, as he is known, started his paving career when a #2 shovel was placed in his hands some fourty-five years ago. Since that time, he has been involved in every facet of highway/heavy construction, from a laborer, to operations manager at an ENR Top 400 firm, all the way to Director of Technical Services for the Michigan Asphalt Paving Association. While there, Bobby was responsible for the association educational programs, providing training in pavement design and construction to design professionals throughout the state. For eight years, he was also chairman of the MAPA/MDOT Asphalt Paving Awards committee. A graduate of the Professor's Training Course at the National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University, Bobby joined PMSI in the winter of 2003, and purchased the company, renaming it Pavement Consultants, Inc., in the late winter of 2012.
