Bobby was born on 12-23-66 in North Hollywood, California. His grandparents were Austrian / Hungarian, and Bobby, himself, is also part Mexican. His first punk gig-was FEAR live at The Starwood in 1980, and the first Bad Religion show he ever saw was at the Valley West Supper Club in 1981, featuring the original line up.
Bobby says: "My first BR show was Al's Bar 5-22-91 (this was the last day of tracking for the Generator album and the last song recorded that day was 'Tomorrow' (...) the first BR song I ever recorded was "Atomic Garden" around 1:00 in the morning on 5-19-91 if my memory serves me right.. Actually it was just Brett, Jay and myself that night.Hetson did his part a couple days later as well as Greg with the vocals"

Bobby left Bad Religion in 2001, after the New America tour, due to a chronic progressive shoulder injury that would not heal. . He was suffering from this shoulder injury and full-blown tendonitis and was in great pain after each show. He is now enjoying his new career behind-the-scenes as a drum technician, production manager assistant and overall technical wizard!
