Biography

For more than 35 years Bob and his wife Delene have been a professional adagio team touring with Ice Capades, Disney on Ice, Holiday on Ice and many more. During their time traveling the world they have had the opportunity to perform with legends such as Dorothy Hamill, Scott Hamilton, Robin Cousins, “The Debonair” Richard Dwyer, and yes, even Mickey Mouse. Bob uses his years of performance based skills to help families realize the physical, mental, and social aspects of skating, while guiding each skater through the skills they will need to continue enjoying ice skating for the rest of their lives.
