After picking up another degree in education in 1982, he started teaching in the Montana Public School system. He was the art and photography teacher in Deer Lodge, Montana, for twenty years. During that time Bob raised a few cows and horses on his small ranch (600 acres) and worked five summers for an outfitter, taking people into the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

His interest in ranch life, wildlife and the outdoors is expressed in much of his art.
