Bob Giloth is a both a denizen and student of urban communities. “I didn’t grow up in a city, but since leaving my parents’ house, I have spent almost every minute in cities,” says Giloth, who lives in Washington, D.C., and enjoys walking the city streets there and in Baltimore near Casey’s headquarters. “You’ll see me walking downtown just about
every day,” says Giloth, who managed community development corporations in Baltimore and Chicago and served as deputy commissioner of economic development under Chicago Mayor Harold Washington before joining Casey in 1993. He holds a Ph.D. in city and regional planning from Cornell University and has always been intrigued by what makes communities thrive.
