“My goal is to have Shoppa’s Material Handling recognized as a world-class national accounts and support team leader for all things material handling,” Bosworth said. “I look forward to getting to know our associates, our customers and our processes so we can align our objectives and make sure our goals are achievable.” 

Bob noted that he thinks of himself as a coach not a manager. He believes the best solutions are a result of a team collaborative effort.

In his spare time, he plays golf, hunts, fishes and is learning guitar.  Bosworth says he is happy to get back to his roots in North Texas.
