Bobbi has been working in the industry since 1992 and became a licensed optician in 1994.

Bobbi was more than thrilled to become a part owner  with Ryan in the Saskatoon Store. Fully aware that this is an eyewear niche that has been missing in the Saskatoon market for quite some time. Bobbi cannot wait to start building some long term relationships with the SPEX families, listening and truly getting to know each client that walks through the door is truly what fuels her passion for the industry.

Camping, quadding, and spending time with her family is all she needs to re charge.
