He has won twelve main tournaments and has accumulated enough master points to earn Life Master one star status. He also was named a three time All-American.
Bob was elected to the ACC Board of Directors in 1984. He served as Secretary of Statistics and as such kept the master point records of the Congress. In the late 1990's he was appointed ACC Treasurer and served in that capacity until his death in 2009. He was elected Executive Vice President of the ACC in 1992, serving in that position for 18 months.
