Bob’s Nulman’s 22-year-old-son, Dan Nulman, was senselessly killed by a 20-year-old drunk and drugged driver on October 11, 1987. Dan, a senior at Trenton State College, was a passenger in a car with four friends when an impaired driver, traveling the wrong way on I-95 in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, collided with them head-on, killing all five boys and the impaired driver. In the wake of this heartbreaking tragedy, Bob transformed his grief into a relentless pursuit to fight against impaired driving.

His dedication as a Volunteer Victim Advocate has provided solace and strength to countless individuals navigating their losses.

His tireless activism has helped shaped policies aimed at preventing future tragedies. Additionally, Bob has been an avid fundraiser for MADD, annually leading a Walk Like MADD team. As an ordained interfaith minister, Bob brings a unique and compassionate perspective to his advocacy, combining his spiritual guidance with his fervent dedication to eradicating impaired driving. Ambassadors are dedicated to creating a future free of this crime and continue to advocate for stronger impaired driving laws, support victims and survivors, and raise public awareness about the urgent need for action.MADD, this team was able to get a bipartisan provision into the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that could put an end to impaired driving.  On November 15, 2021, the HALT Act was signed into law.  The HALT Act requires national safety standards for passive, advanced impaired driving prevention systems on all new vehicles.
