Bob began learning about ABA and practicing as a therapist at a residential treatment facility in Florida called Threshold, under Dr. Eb Blakley's clinical direction.  Upon graduation with a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, he became a Public school teacher at The Magnolia School in Orange County, Florida, and was the Chair of the Behavior Department at that school, which consisted of 5 classrooms working with children with developmental delays and behavior issues.  During this time, Dr. Pat McGreevy was his classroom consultant.  Bob was recruited by Dr. Vincent Carbone to work as a behavior specialist for Osceola High School and moved to a district-level behavior analyst position at Osceola County Public Schools.  He continued to work alongside Dr. Carbone as a behavior analyst for Osceola County public schools and they began to consult on VB programs across the state of Florida.  Bob then became a District Behavior Analyst for St Lucy Schools in Florida.  After about 3 years with St Lucy County, he became the Education and Training Director of the Jericho School in Jacksonville FL.  During that time, he began the ABA program at Florida Institute of Technology, graduating in 2007 with an M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis.  In 2022, he completed a Doctoral program in Curriculum & Instruction from Capella University. Currently, he is a consultant to schools, clinics, and families, co-instructs for the FIT ABA online program, and works with Dr. Carl Sundberg at the Behavior Analysis Center for Autism in Fishers, Indiana, focusing on the verbal behavior and academic repertoires of children diagnosed with Autism.   Bob demonstrates expertise in the following areas: Discrete Trail Training (DTT), Natural Environment Teaching (NET), Precision Teaching (PT), Direct Instruction (DI), Verbal Behavior Programs (VB), Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), and Relational Frame Theory and applications. Currently, his interests include conceptual and practical work related to problem solving and memory from a behavior analytic perspective.
