Bob founded Spark Innovations Inc. in 1988 to create innovative products with strong intellectual property. After building one of Canada’s largest computer terminal manufacturers, as president of Northern Technologies Corp., a division of Lanpar Technologies Inc., Bob left to start his own company. Early in his career at Lanpar, Bob had created a cable connector that replaced six pieces with one simple to use part. This became the basis for his philosophy for Spark. From the start Sparks’ philosophy was to pursue opportunities “in little, high-volume things where we can innovate and patent.”
