Good question!
Bob is homegrown without a doubt! Born and raised in the
countryside just outside of Shamokin, Bob has spent his entire life
right here in Central PA, graduating from
Our Lady of Lourdes Regional High School in Coal Township in 1998 and
Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove in 2002.
Although
at a young age (granted he's older than he looks), Bob has an
experienced background in broadcasting, working as a Top-40 DJ and a
television production crew memeber before joining the WHP 580 News Team
in late December of 2004.
In June of 2005, Bob became a morning news anchor on our news/talk sister station.
In the summer of 2007, Bob added more duties, delivering the news for several of Harrisburg's other top rated stations in the Clear Channel family.
Finally, Bob became The River's Morning News anchor in January of 2009.
Armed with a sense of humor and a
"lucky to be here" attitude, Bob adds to an already tremendously
successful radio station with his background in our communities, our
sports, and our lifestyles.
Bob has also won several Pennsylvania Associated Press awards for excellence in reporting.
Bob welcomed his first son, Brodey, on May 18th, 2006.
