Before joining iDS, Bobby spent over 12 years supporting attorneys and law enforcement in eDiscovery matters. His experience in the lab, on the road, and in the courtroom helped develop his problem-solving skills that play such a large part in what he does for his clients at iDS.

In his current role at iDS, Bobby manages project lifecycles that include IT consultation, forensic data collections, analysis, system assessments, comprehensive reporting, and expert testimony.

Bobby was born and raised in Washington, DC, where he enjoys time with his wife and daughter. He stays busy writing and performing poetry in his free time, in addition to being a Host and Venue Captain for Busboys and Poets, and a performer on several improv teams.
