Bob's career started at an early age in the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota. While still in high school in the early 80's, Bob published several TRS-80 video games including porting (with no code or specs) Frogger to the TRS-80, Timex Sinclair, and the Color Sinclair. After high school, Bob moved to the Twin Cities to attend the University of Minnesota. In 1985, Bob purchased a 512k Mac and proceeded to write MacGolf, a multi-year top selling 3D golf simulation. In 1997, Bob and Doug started ImageReady with Bob as the engineering manager, a web focused image authoring tool. Bob was awarded two patents recently that were filed due to innovations in ImageReady and Photoshop – most notably the History Palette which introduced multiple undo to Adobe products. In 2005, Adobe hired Bob to come back and lead the Photoshop Lightroom engineering team, a professional photography processing and workflow application. After the successful public beta programs and Lightroom 1.0 launch, Doug lured Bob away from Adobe to join the world class team here at Microsoft and to build a world class development team in the Twin Cities.
