At a young age Bob found his passion in sports through Fighting (boxing/kick boxing) and Football. Bob earned himself a partial scholarship to play Division II football, but after two years he realized his true passion was with boxing and kickboxing.
Spending his time focusing on boxing, Bob earned a spot on the Joe Hands Boxing Team in Philadelphia. Through this team, Bob traveled competitively around the US and was lucky enough to compete in the Irish Festival for Team Philadelphia competing against Team Belfast, Ireland. Bob then won the title of Middle Atlantic Boxing Champion at 197 lbs. Following his title win, Bob entered the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, where he made it to the finals 2 years in a row at “The Arena.”
During his time competing, Bob also had the opportunity to help Bernard Hopkins in his returning fight at the Liacouras Center. Through his recognition and expertise in the boxing community, Bob was offered to be an extra in the movie Creed 2. Bob then accepted a job offer as the head instructor at World Martial Arts Academy. This then lead the door to open for competing in the Martial Arts circuit. In 2018 Bob won the Light Heavy Weight NASKA World title. Competing in martial arts has allowed Bob to travel all around North and South America. During this time Bob also opened up a Martial Arts School with his father, starting a competition team.
