Bob Galindo Jr. is a third- and sometimes fourth-degree follower (always in progress) who has spent his life struggling to learn how to follow with reason-falling and getting up again and again, striving for that elusive fifth degree of vulnerability. With more than thirty years of experience in the investment advisory industry, he has been fortunate to achieve professional success in leadership positions, retiring in 2018 as the principal financial officer and treasurer of a prominent $80 billion mutual fund company. A United States Navy veteran, Bob earned his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Texas at San Antonio (Go Runners!). In addition to writing countless business, regulatory, and financial reports, Bob has authored op-eds and even recorded some music. He is a talented public speaker and has also appeared on stage as a professional musician, vocalist, and musical theater performer.
