Bob Scott has been studying computer systems and developing software for 35 years. He is still amazed that you can get paid to do programming because it is so easy and so much fun.

After 4 years at MIT's Sloan School of Management as an undergrad and 1 year at Carnegie Mellon to earn an MSIA, Bob spent 4 years in Germany and Tulsa repaying the Army. He then worked on major software development projects for companies in Tulsa, Paris (France), and Dallas, winding up as a Technical Department Manager for a large Silicon Valley company. The next 10 years were spent earning an MDiv in St. Louis and planting a church in Pleasanton, CA, before moving to Medford in 1998, where Bob has done contract programming for local companies.

Bob is also an avid student of geopolitics and thinks it's fun to analyze companies, particularly in the mining sector. He has worked closely with Will Reishman in this regard and is the "Research Bob" mentioned in Ron Coby's book.
