After high school, Bobby went to Dallas for vocational training in electronics.  He farmed for a few years and then worked in the oilfield business.  During this time, he worked at Harrelson Construction, Verna Drilling and West Texas Casing where he worked alongside his father, JW and brothers, Joe and Jerry for many years.
