Bob VanProyen

Audio Engineer

His first gig was for a grade school girlfriend. With a small PA and record player, Bob spun the 45's.
Some 50 years later, the party
continues.

Today, Bob oversees 22 radio
stations and is a true Audio
Engineer.

With an ear for music and a
warehouse full of vintage
equipment, Bob brings his talent
and a forgotten sound to our project.

More than a photographer, Bob is a visual storyteller.

Countless cameras have been worn out since he took his first photograph with his sister's Brownie camera more than 50 years ago.

A few million photographs later, Bob continues to capture and tell the stories of the American Fabric, one frame at a time.
