Bobby lives in the Lyn Park neighborhood along with his wife Angela, who is a pharmacist and their 2 sons. While growing up Bobby loved to watch Perry Mason, and after graduating from high school Bobby knew that he wanted to become a lawyer. What type of lawyer he wanted to be was unclear until his exposure to the entertainment business. Bobby passion for music grew from directing his church choir as a teenager for many years. He had no idea that eventually his own choir, Excelsior, would develop into a Stellar Award winning and Grammy nominated choir and receive nationwide exposure.  Today it is a 30 member group along with backup musicians, which has produced over 7 CD's.
