Shortly after high school, he worked in the flooring department in JC Penney . It was at this time Bob was married and had three sons, Ryan, Christopher and Brandon. He was then recruited by Marv Berlin to come work at New York Carpet World . Bob started out in sales and then worked his way up to district supervisor of the Detroit area stores. He remained at New York Carpet World in the Metro Detroit area until New York Carpet bought out a chain of stores in Florida. It was at this point that Bob divorced and later married Nancy. Bob was then transferred to the Orlando area to Open the New stores. Not long after, NYCW the stores were bought out by Shaw Industries and then was sold to the Maxim group. During this time, he had 2 children , Kristine and Nicolas . Shortly after, the stores were closed and with a wing and a prayer that is when Bob and Nancy took a leap of faith and opened up their first store, Creative Floors, in 1999 on East Colonial in Orlando. Then, in 2000, the Casselberry location was opened, and in 2007, their 3rd location was opened in south Orlando.

Bob enjoyed Nascar, Detroit Tigers baseball, his new Harley Davidson, surfing with Nick, boating and water-skiing. His major accomplishment was being an amazing father, son, brother, husband, and friend.
