Bob is a former hydrologist and senior project manager with the U.S. Geological Survey, specializing in studies of stream and ground water quality. He earned his MS degree in Hydrology from the University of Washington and a BS degree from Huxley College of Environmental Studies at Western Washington University. Bob is a former President of Placer Land Trust. He lives in Auburn.
“Placer County is an exceptional place to live, with a diverse and remarkable natural environment stretching from the Central Valley to the crest of the Sierra Nevada. Yet the pressures of population growth and land development increasingly threaten the environmental quality that brought many of us here. As a long-time resident of Auburn and the region, I want to help permanently preserve the most critical undeveloped lands through cooperative partnerships among the community and land owners.”
