Bio for retired Senator Bob Worsley Senator Bob Worsley has been a State Senator from Mesa since 2012 until his retirement in Jan 2019. He and his wife Christi and 6 children (30 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren) lived in Arizona for almost 40 years and for the past 2 years have lived in Salt Lake City, Utah. He came to the senate bringing with him an array of entrepreneurial skills having been named 1999 Arizona Entrepreneur of the Year. He began his career as a CPA with Price Waterhouse, went on to found SkyMall in 1989, and sold it to Rupert Murdoch 13 years later. He then founded NZ Legacy which has been active in real estate, energy, and mineral developments since 2002. He built an $80 Million 27-MW biomass energy plant, fueled by the remains of the Rodeo-Chediski fire which burned over 450,000 acres of Arizona forest land in 2002; Novo Power is currently fueled by 15,000 acres per year of forest-thinning and is staffed with over 100 employees and contractors. His latest startup is called ZenniHome (www.zennihome.com) and is the first smart, transformer home via robotics, factory-built based on steel shipping container technology, net-zero solar and lithium battery energy with AC and DC power appliances. It will save over 30% of the cost of new site-built homes with higher quality and state of art technologies that will save months of construction time. In the Senate, he was involved with energy and technology issues, citizen engagement, data collection, and the required infrastructure for our future autonomous vehicles. Along with County Attorney Bill Montgomery and other civic leaders, he has actively been seeking a long-term, compassionate solution to immigration challenges in Arizona. He chaired the Transportation and Technology Committee, and served on the Commerce; Public Safety, Finance, and Judiciary committees but announced in June 2018 his retirement from politics “until his party wakes up from its nap.”
 He has served on many corporate boards but also on the boards of Mesa United Way, Mesa Urban Renewal Lab, United Families, Institute of American Values in NYC, Arizona Aerospace Association, Scoutmaster for a troop of 36 scouts, LDS Mission to Uruguay and Paraguay, Hispanic congregation leader for almost a decade and numerous other civic, Church and philanthropic endeavors. His wife Christi founded Consolari in 2012 to add to the Mesa Arts Center to create a World Center for Song that would include a 2,000 seat acoustic hall to rival Carnegie Hall in NYC. We firmly believe that Music can heal and create social cohesion helping to counteract our current polarized political environment. Named by Capitol Times as “2018 Legislator of the Year”.
