About Bob.

My formal name is Robert A. Behan. But that is not me. I'm Bob. I am a very experienced professional who thinks of myself as a blue-collar worker. I've been told I'm a humble, easy-going, smart guy. If you choose to spend some time with me, you can decide for yourself.

I grew up on the West Side of St. Paul and went to public high school. I finished my education at the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Business. But that is not where I learned how to be successful in business.

I learned on the job! In my younger years, I had the benefit of learning from some very successful people who chose to mentor me along the way. I also learned from the school of hard knocks. Maybe you know what I mean?

I don't know everything, but I do know a lot.
