Bob is a past president of the EALB and has been a member of the association since 1994 in the classification of Sheet Metal. Bob was born and raised in Long Beach and attended Cal State Long Beach before being lured away by the ski slopes of Aspen, Colorado. He is happily married to his wife Robyn and together they have two daughters and their first Grandbaby on the way!
Sheet Metal is Bob's business. He is an expert in his field and if he can't help you he can steer you in the right direction. He brought metal samples to the meeting for the members to keep that tell you the different gauge metals he carries. He works with metal from 16 to 26 gauge and all the way up to 1/4" thickness. The types of metals he works with include: Aluminum, Galvanized Steel, Stainless Steel, Steal and for the higher end clients Copper.
A good lead for Bob is any new construction happening around town. If you see a sign on a dirt lot please let Bob know where and he will go introduce himself as a potential supplier to the contractor. Also, if you know anyone with metal roofs or siding, they are good referrals as well.
Many of the members gave testimonials on the quality of Bob's workmanship on large and small projects. He does smaller speciality projects as well. If you have a metal project that you think Bob could help you with, give him a call.
