Growing up in Virginia Bobby Dove loved spending time with his grandfather, a Korean War veteran. They watched The History Channel and war movies together and Bobby listened to his grandfather’s stories from the military and his own childhood. His grandfather taught him good character and respect for authority. He was the most influential person in Bobby’s life. In August 2008, Bobby joined the Army Special Forces and, after 3 years of continuous training, earned his Green Beret in August 2011. He loved the camaraderie of the military as well as its challenges. Bobby recently founded “Hooligan Charters”, an inshore and near-shore fishing guide service, as a joint venture with his teammate Cliff, who was the first to come to Bobby’s aid in Afghanistan. Bobby has learned of himself that he is resilient and driven. He looks forward to a very full life in a specially adapted smart home.
