Bob Vines is a gender-based violence prevention specialist in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Storytelling has been a recurring theme in his life. As a Wyoming journalist, he loved sharing stories of the underdog, the unlucky, and the unique. Later, as a courtroom advocate for crime victims, he helped survivors craft their own stories to share with judges and juries during hearings. Now, he encourages men to share their personal stories that challenge the socialized gender norms surrounding masculinity. He loves a well-worn trucker hat, a good local craft beer, and a new record store to explore. Now that Bob and his partner Mary have raised their two boys to adulthood, you may find them taking in a concert, a baseball game, or just some good barbecue in the backyard.
