Prior to his current role, he was the Senior Director of Security for NYU Langone Hospital - Brooklyn for 11+ years.

While directing operations at NYU, Bob became an expert in active shooter response and training in the healthcare environment.

His prior 21 year career in the NYPD, in which he retired as the Commanding Officer of the Homicide Squad, positioned Bob to thoroughly understand the mind of an assailant and the most appropriate response protocols for healthcare professionals. Most recently, Bob spearheaded the development of a nationally recognized training video on effective active assailant event response for hospital staff and administrators. Bob currently serves on the Executive Board as the Immediate Past President of the Metropolitan Healthcare Security Directors Association (MHSDA).
