After meeting Bob, you instantly know you are dealing with a straight shooter who is direct and compassionate. There is no trying to translate or interpret what he is telling you. What you see is what you get, and it is extremely refreshing. He comes from a solid foundation where family is first and always willing to help. You want Bob on your team as his contributions are many and always yields positive results. I can't say enough good things about this man."

“I worked with Bob during the planning stages of my startup. He was invaluable in dispensing his knowledge on all topics from financing to employee retention. I value his opinion and he worked with me to look at all revenue opportunities in addition to how to distinguish myself in an already saturated marketplace. I know that if I have an issue or question come up that I can turn to Bob for his experience and knowledge and I am forever grateful for our working relationship.”

"Bob Gau has always been a mentor for me in many ways. Working under his leadership for over 30 years, his values and philosophies of personal and team success still ring true today in my daily work habits. “Passion and Potential” is a common denominator in all that Bob pursues in his professional career. His ability and eagerness to network with people daily is one of his many strengths. Bob is a leader “on and off the field” and a man that I can always look to for guidance on how to start and run a business successfully. Kudos to Bob in his new passion. His experience of starting his own business in the Electronics industry over 40 years ago will propel him to success in this new endeavor."
