Bio
John Zuknick, MBA
Bob is one of most well rounded production managers in the publishing industry. He truly is a hard working professional. Working with Bob in a number of different capacities for over 20 years from a client, to a publishing association colleague, to a fellow volunteer for various committees with the local Philadelphia publishing organization, I can give nothing but positive remarks about Bob. Over the years he has always been an upfront and honest with any situation. Bob is a great person to work with, as he has always approaches everything with an outlook of integrity. I happily recommend him. His skill set would be an asset to any organization.

Bob was one of the best production managers I have worked with. He remained calm and cool under stress of handling multiple projects at the same time. Dealing with quick production schedules, executing one after another with a smile and yet never losing the focus on quality of the book. An absolute delight to work with.
