An avid risk taker, Bob Patch has always liked the fast lane. He drove race cars professionally for 10 years and started CANOW Inc. when he was just 26 years old.

He is a passionate advocate for bringing people together and a firm believer in the importance of keeping work fun. This principal attributes to Bob’s longstanding tenure in the industry. In 2018, CANOW merged with the Lawless Group to form Lawless West. With this merger, Bob elected to became the lead account manager; a role he chose after surviving over 40 years in the representation business.

The foundation he built at CANOW has been vital to the Lawless West success. His extensive experience and relationships in the construction distribution industry are vast. He continues to lead mergers and acquisitions, and mentor and develop new solutions for manufacturers and distributors.

Bob now enjoys a little slower pace of life – you’ll find on the greens with his wife and Wilbur.
