Hi! I’m Bob (aka “Quantified Bob”). I am an Austin, TX-based technology entrepreneur, biohacker, and self-quantification geek focused on the intersection of data-driven citizen science, health and wellness, human performance, longevity, and personal optimization.
My career in technology spans over 2 decades, from the earliest days of the World Wide Web (before the dot-com crash of the late 90’s), through the rise of online communities, social networks, and social media platforms, through the emergence of consumer-facing health and wellness, AI and machine learning, mobile apps, and blockchain technologies.
I am the cofounder of Awesome Labs, a health, wellness, and emerging technology studio and the founder of OPTML, my consulting and coaching venture (more information below).
Feel free to check out my complete professional background/bio on Linkedin, and visit this page to learn more about why I started this site.

I have appeared on a number of TV programs and magazines, including CBS News Sunday Morning, PBS NewsHour Weekend, National Geographic Explorer, CBC (Canada), SBS-TV (South Korea), Fast Company, Men’s Fitness, and Outside Magazine, have appeared on some great wellness-related podcasts like Ben Greenfield Fitness, The Life Stylist Podcast, Ben Pakulski’s Muscle Intelligence Podcast, Extreme Health Radio, Quantified Body, and I have given talks at a number of leading conferences, including Quantified Self (USA and Europe), Biohacker Summit (Helsinki), Health Optimisation Summit (UK), and the Superhuman Summit (Vancouver, Canada).
