Bobby attended Southwestern College from 1992 through 1993 and played football for two seasons under Head Coach Bill Kinney. “It didn’t matter if Bobby had guys hanging all over him, if you got the ball close, he always found a way to catch it,” said Head Coach Bill Kinney.

Bobby’s hard work and dedication paid off. In 1992 and 1993 he was selected to the All Mission Conference First Team and was also name First Team Junior College All American in 1993. Of his eight SWC all-time football records as a wide receiver, the following three reflect his incredible prowess on the football field and his immense popularity with his coaches- the most receptions in a game (18), season (90), and career (145).

Still loving the game, Bobby coached varsity football at Hilltop High School, his alma mater, from 1998 to 2000. He has also served as a youth volunteer Youth Pastor at Bethel Centro Familiar Church. He enjoys family life with his wife, Diana and daughter, Maria. He is currently employed as an electrician with Aardema Electric Company.

Bobby’s most outstanding memories of Southwestern College include “playing football on the most gorgeous field in Southern California” and “spending time with such wonderful coaches.”
