Bob started his career in Digital Advertising circa 1998 shortly after Al Gore founded the internet (anyone?) selling RON 468×60 banner ad campaigns to brands like Treeloot (remember punching the monkey?) and Dr. Koop (remember the Surgeon General?). In 2000 he went to work for IDG, a global IT publisher selling multiple 6 figure streaming video (over 56k modem) content sponsorships to Fortune 500 companies like Compaq, EDS, and MCI Worldcom (remember them?). He started in Digital Healthcare Marketing in 2007 when he helped launch the Healthcare Solutions Group at Accela Communications giving Pharmaceutical companies the opportunity to engage Physicians using streaming video and multimedia. He has remained in Digital Health Marketing ever since with stints at UBM Medica and Madison Logic before coming to MedData Group in 2013.

At MedData Group Bob supports company growth working directly with Healthcare advertisers / agencies and developing partnerships with leading Ad Tech vendors.

When he’s not working you can find Bob spending time with his family and friends, trail running with his dog Tucker, at a local bar with his band HillBilly Pop, or doing volunteer work.
