Bobby began his career at Motorola. He later got into veterinarian supply sales, first at Schofield Veterinary Supply and later at Illinois Veterinarian Supply, where he retired from.

Bobby was an avid antique collector, from furniture to lamps to picture collages to rugs. His love of antiques even carried into homes, as he enjoyed searching out older homes that needed fixed up. He was adept at flipping houses, and completed five flips in his lifetime. Bobby was also an excellent chef and enjoyed reading up on history and philosophy in his spare time.
