Robert Hartford

Robert Hartford was originally hired by ARP in 1977 as the company’s janitor, but soon was promoted as a clever facilities manager who was the guy who “knew how to get things done.” His principal role over the years is not well known, but ought to be. He is one of those guys the team can depend upon and who does great work “behind the scenes.” As the director of the plant’s relocation project, Robert assisted in the expansion of the company’s operations, which included wood working and silk screening. As a close friend of Philip Dodds, the company’s vice president, Robert followed up his career at ARP with a stint at Kurzweil Music and later co-formed a multimedia company with Philip.
