"I enjoy helping those willing to help themselves; to inspire others to take action and obtain success."  -   Bob Klatt

 

 

 

• Bob Klatt has lived a life of “Balls and Strikes”.  He grew up in the small town of Horicon, WI where he had visions of being a major league baseball umpire and professional bowler. In 1986, he was the "Outstanding 2nd-year Student" at the Wendelstedt Umpire School, Daytona Beach, FL. After that he officiated in the Class "A" New York/Pennsylvania baseball League. It was then that Bob realized he would rather roll strikes than call them. Eventually he pursued competing in the regional Professional Bowlers Association.

• Bob’s winding career path has been a real learning curve filled with roll-up-your sleeves experiences. After his first job as a dishwasher, he cleaned bowling pinsetters, baled hay, was a golf course greenskeeper, worked in canning factories (Green Giant/Pillsbury), and did assembly at manufacturing plants (Chrysler and John Deere among others). He even worked at UPS and a Kwik Trip convenience store before he worked up the gumption to hit his life reset button and start college at age 24.

• Since then, Bob has accumulated extensive business and management experience in privately and publicly held companies in various industries (Hospitality, Recreation, Sporting Goods, Manufacturing, Textiles, Construction, Real Estate, and Information Technology). He has been a successful manager and director of marketing and sales, small business marketing and management consultant and account executive. Bob has given as many as 130 sales presentations a year. Bob holds an Executive MBA in Business with a focus on leading and managing organizational change.

• As the self-acclaimed “Kingpin of Personal Improvement” Bowler Bob is much more than an act. Bob is a genuine blue jean guy. His magnetic personality is transparent of way he lives his life. Drawing from his experiences, Bob is able to connect with people of all walks of life and encourage them to have a can do positive Klattitude!
