Bob has been an engineer and an explorer since birth. His earliest memories involve redesigning flashlights (or at least, disassembling them), and stringing extension cords across the house to light his discoveries in the far back closet (plug in lights were necessary because none of the flashlights worked anymore). He has worked for many seasons in Antarctica, in many different capacities and traveled to most of the corners of that continent. Bobs current project SCINI Is to design, build and deploy an under ice ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) that fits down a 8" hole drilled through 20 feet of Antarctic sea ice.
