As part of research into a potential economic liberty case, Bob successfully obtained an occupational license in August 2006 from the City of Baltimore.  For one year he was authorized to play a Native American flute as a government-approved street entertainer – though only in select locations and at certain times.

Bob joined the Institute for Justice in August 2005 from the Foundation for Economic Education, where he worked as the Leonard E. Read Research Fellow.   He received his Bachelor's degree in Business Economics with a minor in Business Law from the University of Toledo. He lives in Arlington, Va., and enjoys spending his free time running in Vibram Five Fingers and rock climbing in West Virginia.
