He studied privately under various teachers including Ron Spagnardi from 1974-77, who then, owned a local music store, The Music Scene, on Broad street in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

. Bob has been performing steady on the club scene since the early 80's with various bands, playing many different styles. The Cycles was a Top 40 dance band, playing many of the larger dance clubs of the times, there he learned if you can get your audience up & moving on the dance floor, you're doing it right! From the top 40 scene Bob moved to the original clubs with The Hammers (www.hammersband.com). Over twenty years together, The Hammers (Ira Spinrad, Dom Z & Bob) play local clubs on a steady basis. Mixing blues, R&B, soul, a little funk, and rockabilly, again with the concept, keep the audience up & dancing and your doing it right. While always with The Hammers, Bob has played with many other bands on the original/coverband circuit including eight years with Better Off Dead, a jump blues band based in Jersey city(www.betteroffdead.com) These guys are good friends and call on Bob for fill-in gigs with them from time to time.
