Founder

Until the sale of his company in July 1999, Bob Buford served as Chairman of the Board and CEO of Buford Television, Inc., a family owned business that started with a single ABC affiliate in Tyler, Texas, and grew to a network of cable systems across the country.

In 1994, Buford wrote Halftime, a book that came out of his mind and heart on how to find meaning fulfillment in the second half of our lives. Those who read Halftime and Game Plan (published in 1997) often want to know more about the endeavors in which Bob Buford is involved as a result of his own “halftime” experience. Buford’s third book, Stuck in Halftime: Reinvesting Your One and Only Life, was released in April 2001.

Bob is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and of the Owner Managed Program at  Harvard. He has played active roles in Young Presidents’ Organization and World Presidents’ Organization and serves on the board of the Hauser for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard Center Business School

Bob and his wife, Linda, live in Dallas.
