Rob graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor’s of Engineering in the early 90s. He first worked with manufacturing ERP in 1994 and first worked with Dynamics in manufacturing in 2008. He considers himself more of a manufacturing consultant than a Business Central expert. He has read “The Goal” at least 4 times, “Lean Thinking” at least 3 times, and has seen Star Wars more times than he can count (Han shot first!).

He is an avid collector of music and, using “The Rolling Stone Top 500 Album List” as a guide, has managed to buy 490 of the 500 best albums of all time (as CDs - the rest are out of print).
