Harvesting business and grew it successfully for 19 years before moving
on to other adventures.
After a short stint farming, the prairies of Northwest Kansas, Bob became a "company man" in 1997 and spent 20 years working for CNHi delighting dealers and customers by solving problems on the high-tech farming machines he had such a strong passion for.
