Meet Robert "Bob" Shoup, 2019 Candidate for AAPG Vice President-Regions

My mentor, and father, told me that you will get out of your profession what you put into it. Since serving as one of the first AAPG Student Chapter presidents to today, I have lived by those words.

Service to AAPG has been rewarding, both at a personal level and at a professional level. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve my profession and the Association should I be so fortunate to be elected AAPG's vice president-Regions.
