Professional Bio

Hob is currently the CEO at Startup Waco and GXGELITE™ where he is tasked with leading both organizations. As a fifth-generation Wacoan, this dual-role is especially meaningful to him because Waco is his home—it’s where his roots are, and it’s where he is passionate about building a future that inspires and supports the community.

He is a proud graduate of Baylor University (Hankamer Business School - Class '14). While there, Hob was a part of the award-winning Accelerated Ventures program where he co-founded, and eventually sold, his own company. He also earned his MBA from Baylor University in May 2022.

When he isn't working, Hob enjoys the thrill of traveling to places old and new with his wife, family and friends. He is also a self-described sports nut who loves watching the big game or can be found putting for double-bogey on a golf course. His dog, Rowe, is the best dog.
