The current president of the California Bonsai Society, Bob studied with a variety of teachers, starting informally as a child with Frank Okamura at the Brooklyn Botanical gardens. Bob moved to California in 1984 where he connected with bonsai artists John Naka, Ben Oki, Harry Hirao and other seminal California Bonsai masters. As their student he expanded his knowledge and skills, giving him the opportunity to share them with others.
