Bob Losey went to UCLA. During the summers, he bagged groceries, bussed tables and did construction work to put himself through college. He even worked two summers for GSA in Washington, D.C.
Besides studies at UCLA, he lettered twice on the UCLA crew team and was elected to the undergraduate Student Council. In 1973, he was graduated from UCLA with a BA in Economics, Phi Beta Kappa, and Summa Cum Laude with an overall 3.6 GPA.
From 1973 to 1979, Bob worked for IBM and got great training there. He paid back IBM’s investment in him as one of IBM’s top producing salespeople. Because he was in a remote territory without IBM System Engineers, he had to become technically competent. Despite his career success, he did not feel his long-term mission was at a big company.
In 1979 and with about $3,000 in the bank, Bob started Source Data Products, Inc. When he saw how much little guys got charged for technology and how little service they got for their money, he had a clear quest — to help small-to-medium businesses get a better value for their information technology dollar.
Despite all the changes in technology, business and the economy over the years, Bob always had a laser-focus on providing value-smart solutions for small-to-medium business.
Bob must have done something right because since then he has worked with over 4000 businesses in North America. And his clients from those early days are still clients today.
