Bob Peitzman

Advanced Planning Consultant

Bob started as an Advanced Planning Consultant with Hamilton's in September 2008. He was in the graphic arts/commercial printing business for over 25 years. Coming from a service and sales background, Bob has found Hamilton's Advanced Planning Division to be a great fit. He enjoys opportunities to assist individuals with one of the most important decisions of their life.

Following High School, Bob played trumpet in a Navy show band which allowed him to travel extensively throughout the United States and abroad. Bob has enjoyed music throughout his lifetime and still plays the trumpet in church and community events.

Bob was born and raised in the Des Moines area. He is married to his wonderful wife Brenda. Together they have three adult children, Jodi (Regi), Jenna, and John (Brooke); and most recently a beautiful granddaughter named London. Bob's faith, family, and friends are very important to him.
