Bob loved the challenge of starting small businesses, and in 1974, he and his wife started the first of four at Riverwood Shops, Dillsboro, NC, The Cheddar Box. The second year into that business, Bob wanted to start serving delicious carry-out Deli sandwiches.

Bob’s passion, The Well House, opened in 1977 and he operated it until the early 1990’s. It was a tremendous success. Later, he and Susan opened a fine craft gallery, Oaks Gallery.
