Bob Switzer

BIOGRAPHY

Bob was born in Oshawa, Ontario. He was heavily involved in hockey until he moved to Western Canada and took up skiing at the age of 26. A few years later he was introduced to masters racing and had a good share of success on the US Masters circuit. When the Canadian Masters program was established in the mid-eighties, he was consistently ranked among the best in his age group.

Although he won his first Canadian Masters Championship twenty years earlier Bob showed no signs of slowing down and received the prestigious Champion of Champions award for his outstanding combined performance at the 2006 event. During his notable local and international recreational racing career he has accumulated a huge number of medals and was once named the Master racer who most exemplified sportsmanship in Canada. Bob plans to keep on racing, winning and having fun doing it.
