Bob is the 2023 Glasser/Ginger award recipient
Bob has a passion for triathlon and has a long history of competing in the sport. Not only does he have a passion for the sport, he has a passion for learning all aspects of triathlon as well as sharing his knowledge with others.
Bob got involved with the organizational side of the Las Vegas Triathlon Club as Ambassador in 2020. That didn’t last long because his operation skill set and knowledge of triathlon was quickly recognized and he became a Board member in 2021!
The list of things that Bob has done is quite long! You’ll find him towing the trailer to our events, setting up/breaking down events, working to recruit and organize other volunteers, writing for the newsletter, hosting Rouvy rides, co-hosting the Member Spotlight, … the list of things he does just keeps going!
On top of that, you’ll often see Bob offering visitors bikes to borrow during their stay her in Vegas. You’ll also see him connecting with members (and potential members!) to just talk triathlon or go for a swim, bike, or run with others. He is such a great resource for new triathletes (and all our club members!) and he is very generous with his time to help others get started in the sport.
Bob is a great representative of the club and really epitomizes the “That’s the Vegas Way” culture we have. He is such a big part of what makes our endurance community so great.
Thank you Bob and Congratulations!

“When I attended my first LVTC event, a summer swim, he greeted me and made me feel so welcome. He continued to welcome me all summer, making me feel appreciated and as if I belonged—encouraging me despite being a beginner. He was generous with advice and celebrated with me as I progressed in the sport.”
“I watched as he served our club, the sport, and our community… providing kayak support for open water training and sweeping rocks on race day. Many don’t know that he also cares for the RMT throughout the week so cyclists can safely enjoy their rides. His positivity and servant’s heart is such a great gift to the Las Vegas triathlon community and his kindness was such a blessing for me.”
“He has been instrumental in encouraging new and experienced triathletes. He is always there to encourage others to “tri”. Heck I am not sure I would be where I am today if it was not for him walking with me 13 years ago at Pumpkinman in 2007, my first real triathlon. I was in tears and totally defeated and he encouraged me to keep going. He is that kind of guy!”
“He gives unconditionally … no expectation for any acknowledgement nor reward.”
“He’s that volunteer that always knows what we need. From sweeping the transition area to kayak support. Helping folks set up transition and identifying the course. He’s always there for whatever we need and you never have to ask him. He just knows it.”
“I love how he’s always at the club races sweeping the rocks away to protect our feet. I also love his “Mountain Lion” sign at the bike mount and dismount line.”
Congratulations Tony!
