Rotary commenced for Bob when he joined the RC of Kangaroo Bay (since wound up) in 1980 at the rather young age (for a Rotarian) of 28.

In July 1982 his career pathway took him and his young family to the North West Coast (of Tasmania) where he immediately joined the Somerset club.  Through which, Bob and his wife Kaye established long lasting friendships whilst supporting Rotary and community activities throughout the District.

A Rotarian of some 43 years, as part of those clubs plus Flagstaff Hill in Adelaide for a brief stint during 1987-88, Bob and Kaye also spent twelve months (2004/5) working in the USA. This provided him the opportunity to visit Clubs in Illinois, including a few speaking engagements at a Rotaract club within Bradley University, Peoria where they lived.

It is worth noting that because his working career was very much international (Global Marketing Manager of a locally based global company), it was difficult to participate in Rotary at a District level. Until of course when he became semi retired.

Bob received a PHF by the Somerset club in 2014 for services to Rotary and the community and again in 2023, by the Sandy Bay club for his services as District Governor. Kaye also received a PHF for her District Partner Project in 2023
