Rob Klee CFO

In Rob's spare time...like he has much of that these days...he enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife and kids, coaching his son's basketball team, and cheering for his daughter as she plays soccer. You might also find him riding a bike, running, or catching the local Pearl Jam show (because let's face it - "dude, they still rock"), that is unless it is tax season. Then you'll find him sitting behind a desk, calculator in hand, counting beans.
