Rob Leib
Founder, Owner, President
An Original 3 Employee
Bio
We aren't sure if this man needs an introduction. He's widely known across the industry and if you've ever looked for an attachment, you've probably seen him giving you all of the information you need to know about a product in a video demonstration. Robert will tell you that his background is in electronics, which is true. He's worked as a project manager for some large telecom companies and at one point he worked on helicopters, but it's clear his heart lies in innovating products and equipment solutions in the compact equipment industry. He started with an old Bobcat 653B machine that he owned and as he slowly started realizing that affordable attachments and solutions to his needs didn't exist, he just as quickly started creating them. Here's one of the first. Eventually, SkidSteerSolutions.com was born and here we are today, a team of fun people providing the world with high quality attachments and products for compact equipment.Q & A
