He attended Shriner Institute on a football scholarship in Kerrville, Texas & attended Texas State University from 1949-1952 . He then ventured to Kansas City, Missouri to work for The Kansas City Stockyards. While working for the stockyards he was sent to purchase cattle in Warsaw, Missouri where he met the LOVE OF HIS LIFE - Mary Ann ("the Lil General"). In October of 1952 he was drafted into the Army. He did his basic training at Ft. Bliss & then was sent to Korea where he served proudly as an Army Artilleryman. He returned in April of 1954 & married Mary Ann on July the 4th.
"Crazy" Bob began his career in 1954 at the Wilson, Flynn, & Laws Commission Company in Kansas City, Missouri. Bobs brother-in-law Harry Thompson hired him to come back to Texas & work at The John Clay Commission Company in San Antonio, Texas. He later moved to Houston, Texas in 1962 to be the first general manager of the North Houston Livestock Auction .

Little did he know that in 1973- he began the best gamble ever- now known as Positive Feed. Later on in 1977 Bob moved & enlarged the plant to Sealy, Texas.
He LOVED what he did & always said "YOU'LL NEVER WORK A DAY OF YOUR LIFE - IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO". He made his mark in the cattle industry & touched many lives throughout his lifetime. Reading was his favorite hobby - he sought to never stop learning. More than anything, bob enjoyed spending time with his family, grand kids, & great grand daughters.
