Meet Bob
The son of entrepreneurs who built a successful food distribution company, I learned early the values of hard work, risk-taking, and strong relationships. As an attorney, I dedicated my career to helping businesses navigate burdensome government regulations and tax burdens.
After nearly two decades of involvement in education policy, I was appointed and then elected to serve on the Nebraska State Board of Education. There, I led efforts to establish more rigorous academic standards and played a key role in initiatives such as daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, statewide testing, and ACT administration for all eleventh graders.
An active member of the Republican Party in Nebraska for decades, I served in a number of leadership roles, including General Counsel and Assistant Chair. As a delegate to the 2016 and 2020 Republican National Conventions, I proudly cast my vote for President Donald J. Trump.
My wife, Debra, and I live in Lincoln. We have three grown children and three grandchildren, sixth-generation Nebraskans.
