Bob joined R&D Thiel as a Labor Estimator in 1987 and, by 1996, managed the Wall Panel Design Department before taking on the role of Vice President of Component Design in 2005. His vision allowed him to improve production time and processes and promote unity and reliable interdependency across the wall panel and truss design departments, and serve as a liaison between sales, estimating, scheduling, and production. By 2018, Bob’s dedication to R&D Thiel’s mission and his crucial contribution to the company’s growth earned him the position of Illinois Division President.
