The WWMA would like to congratulate Bob Stobb for his 26 years as a weights and measures inspector for the state of Wisconsin. Bob started there in May 1997 and will be leaving us in October to start new endeavors.
During his time here Bob has made significant contributions to the program. He was instrumental in the use of marine fuel carts that many of us use today. Bob actually designed and had built our first prototype marine cart. It was a proven success, which resulted in the department supplying marine carts to every state inspector. Before we had computers, Bob was the first to field test a laptop and WinWam software.
Bob initiated and was the lead inspector for many large investigations, including seafood glazing and outdoor fryer oil.
Bob is a past president of the WWMA.
We thank him for his contributions and accomplishments and wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors!

Many of the Weights & Measures team have worked with Brad in the past and he comes to us with great praise. Brad started his new position on Monday 9/25/23.
