Bio
Born and raised in New York, Bob Werb holds a B.S. in Biology from Syracuse University. Werb served two distinguished years in the Peace Corps in Cameroon’s Eastern Province where he initiated a program with inland agricultural fisheries.
Werb’s space activism began after meeting Dr. Gerard K. O’Neill in New Jersey. Werb went on to co-found the New Jersey L5 Society chapters, eventually working closely with Dr. O’Neill on the republication of The High Frontier. Personal business successes as a commercial Real Estate Developer opened new opportunities for increased activism in the growing NewSpace movement. By 1988, Werb and two other individuals, Jim Muncy and Rick Tumlinson, saw an opening for a new type of non-profit advocacy organization. The Space Frontier Foundation was born.
In addition to the responsibilities as a co-founder of the SFF, Werb has served as the Foundation’s Treasurer, as Chairman of the Board, and in project management positions. In 2004, Werb was one of the three people who coined the word NewSpace and also led the strategic review where the Foundation adopted “Advancing NewSpace” as its mission. Since then he has been engaged in implementing that strategy and overseeing the rapid growth of the Space Frontier Foundation.
The Space Frontier Foundation was created in 1988 out of the collective vision of our three co-founders and a group of fellow space community leaders. Throughout the history of the Space Frontier Foundation, our co-founders have continued to lead the Foundation in its effort to rapidly open the space frontier.
