A 1976 Roncalli HS graduate, Bob started night school at the University of Indianapolis in 1980 prior to graduating in 1984 with a Business Administration degree.
Mr. Kortzendorf started working part-time for his father, Robert Kortzendorf and his uncle, George Kortzendorf, at Kortzendorf Machine & Tool Co., Inc., in the summer of 1973.
Early responsibilities included cutting grass, sweeping floors, and general clean-up for the company until he graduated from Roncalli. After HS graduation, he started working full time, learning the trade. He worked in the shop, mostly as a boring mill machinist, for 17 years.
When his Uncle George retired from the company in 1990, Bob and his cousin Tom moved up to the office to learn “the business” side of things from his father.

He is also a huge fan of IU basketball, ND football, the Colts, and the Indy 500. Among his most exhilarating experiences are hot air ballooning, sky diving, and riding in a two-seat Indy car at IMS. He's always open for new experiences.
