About Bob Bowers

Hi, I’m Bob Bowers, Chief Content Officer for Remin Media

I love hearing and reading the amazing stories shared by leaders in dentistry.

FACTS ABOUT ME

My wife and I have 3 young boys who challenge me every day to be a better man, and allow me little sleep
I am obsessed with reading new business books and struggle with too many ideas and not enough time
In 1999 I was the first employee of a dental company that started in the CEO’s basement; 10 years later that company sold to a large competitor
I am a certified gym rat who learned long ago that there is no such thing as too much “pre-workout”
