Founder Story: Robert L Klein
Robert L Klein, affectionately known as Bob, is more than a founder—he's a visionary with a relentless dedication to service and a profound commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. His journey began over four decades ago, fueled by a passion for helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
Bob's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish R.L. Klein & Associates in February 1984, marking the inception of a company built on the principles of integrity, innovation, and excellence. As a service-disabled owner, Rob not only founded the company but also became the driving force behind its success, steering it through the ever-changing landscape of government contracts and social services.
At R.L. Klein & Associates, Bob's leadership transcended traditional roles. He personally analyzed, wrote, and developed proposals for prestigious contracts with entities such as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), Department of Mental Health (DMH), CalTrans, and the California Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Through meticulous quality control and hands-on involvement, Bob ensured that every aspect of the work met the highest standards, leaving an indelible mark on the contracts his company undertook.
But Bob's impact extended far beyond the boardroom. With a deep-seated commitment to serving the community, he tirelessly worked to connect individuals with vital resources, particularly those facing unemployment, disadvantage, or a history of incarceration. His involvement in programs such as TANF, GROW, and GAIN with the County of Los Angeles underscored his unwavering dedication to empowering displaced individuals and providing them with the support they needed to thrive.

Bob's innovative approach to recruitment and social services laid the foundation for a robust network of providers, particularly in the medical sector. His efforts in building this network not only facilitated recruitment for CDCR contracts but also fostered collaboration with both public and private clients, further solidifying R.L. Klein & Associates' reputation as a trusted partner in staffing solutions.
Prior to his entrepreneurial endeavors, Bob's illustrious career in the California Army National Guard spanned over four decades, culminating in his retirement with the rank of Colonel. His service to his country took him to the frontlines of conflict in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Panama, where his bravery and leadership earned him numerous accolades, including the Bronze Star and the Defense Meritorious Service Medal.
Bob's academic achievements are equally impressive. A graduate of the Army War College and the recipient of a Bachelor's and Master's degree from Liberty University, he embodies a commitment to lifelong learning and personal development. His certifications, including the prestigious Project Management Professional (PMP), attest to his dedication to excellence in every endeavor.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Bob's enduring legacy lies in his unwavering dedication to serving others, his unyielding resilience in the face of adversity, and his steadfast commitment to making the world a better place—one life at a time. As the founder of R.L. Klein & Associates, his vision continues to guide the company forward, inspiring others to reach greater heights and leave a lasting impact on the world.
