BIOGRAPHY

Bob, one of the winningest 3.0ers in 3.0 history, enjoyed great career success on both the league and the tournament courts as he became one of the first 3.0ers to routinely bridge the league and tournament divide and, then later, one of the first to focus solely on tournament play.  In league play, Bob compiled an impressive 48 wins in all matches played, helping to lead his teams to four Flight Championships during his 13 year career.  Yet, it was in tournament play where Bob made a well-known name for himself, not just helping to sponsor the then fledgling Akron Open for almost a decade, but participating in the first-ever event as well.  After several trips to the finals, Bob achieved immortal 3.0 glory when he ran the gamut to take the 2010 Akron Open championship!  Thanks to his adept league play, his support of tournament play, and his multiple team and individual titles, Bob is a very deserving inaugural inductee of the D.F.O. 3.0 Hall of 3.0 Fame!
