He recently retired from The Johns Hopkins Hospital where he was in charge of the radiology ultrasound division for over 28 years. He has started his own company, Bob DeJong, LLC to provide ultrasound education. In 2018, he published his first book, Craig’s Essentials of Sonography and Patient Care. He has authored chapters in many ultrasound textbooks. His wife Linda, whom he married in 1975, has supported his career. He has been honored with the following national awards:

Bob speaks at national and local meetings on various ultrasound topics. He is also an active member of the SDMS. In his non-ultrasound time, he is active in his church, reads, attends local and national theater productions, especially musicals, and play with his cats Maggie and Ollie.
