As an avid sports enthusiast, he played several sports in his youth. He was a Jets, Mets, Magic and Knights fan and attended many games. He also played competitive flag football, baseball, basketball for ten years with the Orlando Sharks and was on the Freedom HS Patriot bowling team. He could be spotted everywhere reading on his iPhone or iPad. He was always gaming online with friends while sports played in the background or loved to play Poker, Monopoly, Uno, Racko and Bingo almost anytime. He loved listening to music with his earbuds even while he was constantly reading. He loved the ocean and beaches.
He is an Alumni of Freedom High School (Class of 2014) and the University of Central Florida’s Class of Hospitality Management (Class of 2020).
Bobby always had a smile, a wave and a hug for everyone. He received great pleasure from being a gentleman and holding the door, stepping back to say "after you".
