The man behind the curtain
In 1992, as a young man in his twenties, Bob joined the Harold’s work force.  With an interest in art, woodshop and sculpture, Bob added creativity and an artist’s touch to our repair shop.  Under Kim’s tutelage along with Bob’s talent as an artist, the shop took on new direction.  Out of a continuous ‘want’ to make something more than just a repair shop, together Kim and Bob created a facility for restoration and design.  What were once unrealistic requirements of needy customers became possibilities and reality.  From faux-painting, metal and wood finishing to custom design, Bob is our ‘lamp guru’.  He now manages the repair and custom department and oversees our other talented repairmen, making sure that everything produced by Harolds is top-notch.
