Bob has been a presence at the Center since its inception. He began his involvement in meditative work at the Rochester Zen Center and continued to work with Toni Packer when she left the Zen Center. In addition to pursuing his career at Xerox and Cornell University, he has served Springwater Center as a Trustee for many years.

He writes that, “Important questions for [me] over the years have been ‘What is Truth or Reality?’ and ‘Where can Truth be found?’” Many people have commented on the clarity, energy and simplicity of Bob’s talks, examples of which can be found below.
