The Ambassador of Mirth
Who is Baton Bob?! Some say he is “Crazy”. Others say he is a “Public Nuisance,” but those who know him simply call him: LOVE! Born Bob Jamerson on a farm in Martinsville, Virginia he always had a zest for life. Growing up an only child, Baton Bob became the first male baton twirler in his high school marching band. Needless to say, he usually outperformed the majorettes. Thus, garnering a mass of attention from his peers.
Baton Bob eventually relocated to St. Louis, Missouri where he worked as a flight attendant. He later started his own Floral business. To date, Bob has been a florist for over 15 years. After the 9/11 attacks, he began twirling his baton in public again. This is where Baton Bob was reborn! According to Bob, the main premise was to “lift people’s spirits and to put a simple smile on their faces during their daily routines.”
When Baton Bob moved to Atlanta, Georgia; the magic began. And now, a star is born!
