                                                    Bob’s career has been anything but linear. After

                                                    Dalhousie University and spending two years
                                                    working in the field, he knew it wasn’t what he
                                                    wanted to do with his life. Music had always been a
                                                    passion of his and he set off to pursue it. In between

                                                    becoming an expert in broadcast delivery. In 2010,
                                                    he returned home to Halifax to work as a
                                                    post-production and music supervisor, a position
                                                    that allowed him to combine his process-driven
                                                    mind with his creative side. In that role, he
