After selling his trade show business in Kansas, he and his family moved to Edmond, Oklahoma around 7 years ago – to be near his wife’s father,Jerry Cutter, who celebrated his 92^nd birthday last March – prior to leaving this world for paradise a little over a month ago.

After moving to Oklahoma, Bob was not at all ready to retire, so he began researching to 50+ market and saw a need to put together a quality Expo for seniors.

Bob Loudermilk and Robin Gunn met for the first time at a forum that he had put together. After that initial meeting, we eventually made the decision to work together in launching the Second Half Expo.

And that brings us to today…as we prepare for our3^rd ANNUAL Second Half Expo.
