After graduating from Tyndale (OBC), Bob worked with the City of Toronto’s Board of Education for 20 years, and then as Vice President at Northwest Baptist College and Seminary.

Later, he served on the pastoral team at Cloverdale Baptist Church, where he developed a program called “High Power Soccer Camp” in 1996. Realizing how much the children in the neighbourhood loved soccer, he combined the sport with relevant Bible teaching. This program has since been signed over to Awana International, and is being implemented worldwide.

In 2006, Bob lost his first wife and his mother in a tragic car accident that also left him severely injured. He has spoken in different provinces on the topic of grief: “By stewarding the journey that God has given, I can talk into people’s lives about pain, depression, disappointment, loss and loneliness, but also speak to it from the point of view of health and hope for the future.”
