Commitment to Equality:

“My entire professional career has been predicated on the belief that government is a service institution and I have been committed to improving that service. RL was founded based on that challenge.”

Bob has been a leader in the major discussions and changes that have transformed the regulatory landscape over the last 35 years. He has worked at the federal and state levels focusing on the use of economic and embedded cost analyses to determine rates and subsidy levels and developing mechanisms that allocate universal service support among states and carriers. As an expert, Bob has testified on a range of telecommunications issues, including rate design, incremental cost studies, mergers, and tests for the existence of competition. As an individual that is relied on in several states to provide testimony and perspective regarding Universal Service Funds, High-Cost support and other telecommunication and energy related issues.

Commitment to Equality:

“I am very lucky. I am the co-owner of a company dedicated to enhancing the public interest. I never imagined that this could happen. It is my desire to make sure that our company grows and continues to help government agencies help all Americans.”

Commitment to Equality:

“When considering my place as a professional, it is important for me to serve in a role that benefits the community and provides access to individuals that otherwise might be excluded. As a former public servant, it’s important for me to make access to services as easy and understandable as possible for the community. Ensuring that the programs operate efficiently and effectively guarantees that the services are available for those in need.”

Commitment to Equality:

“From childhood I was admonished that ‘to whom much is given, much is expected.’ Thus, from the inception of my legal career, I sought positions in public service because I believed it was through that work that I could accomplish the most good. Joining the Rolka Loube team is an extension of my public service efforts because this company seeks to assist government agencies in soundly administering their programs for the benefit of their constituents.”
