After graduating from high school, he joined the Army Air Corps and was stationed in London during WWII. After his military service, he attended the University of Texas and earned a B.A. in Fine Arts. Later, he would earn an M.S. from the Texas College of Arts and Industries. He began his career teaching distributive education in Corpus Christi. Later, he and his family moved to Austin, where he wrote college curriculum for the University of Texas. Bob also enjoyed serving his church, spending many years as a deacon, elder and teacher.
