With a growing list of clients, an emerging reputation of credibility and trust and a team of creative, highly-educated professionals, Q2 has become a passion for him, not just a business.

His work history includes serving as a policy advisor to a man many consider one of the most effective reform-minded governors of the last fifty years, working in the policy research center for a national association serving state executives based in Washington, D.C., and managing the development, policy, research, public relations and publications departments for another national association of state officials.

Bob is a skilled speaker and facilitator and a certified strategic planner.
