SAY HELLO TO BOBBY KEYES, a key member of USST’s team for almost four years who was recently promoted to one of our Foreman positions.  With a background in construction for most of his career, Bobby moved to Florida from New Hampshire in 1988 to get away from the cold and has lived in the peaceful town of Osteen with his family and horses for the past 20-years.  He enjoys tackling new challenges every day, can recite the theme song to Gilligan’s Island at a moment’s notice, and never passes up a snack of Oreo cookies and milk.  Read on to learn some other surprising details about our team member.

Lesson That I Live By:  If you’re not sitting on the edge of your seat, you’re taking up too much room!
