Bob Gould was Director of Facilities at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences from May 1999 to April 2012.

Robert "Bob" Marshall Gould was born on August 1, 1943, to Oren and Dorothy Gould and grew up in Macomb, IL alongside his siblings – Ruth Anne, Kenny, Kay and Chuck. He attended Western Illinois University, where he graduated in 1966.

Shortly after graduation, Bob drove to Los Angeles to pursue a career in television. In his best decision, he soon convinced his college sweetheart Sharon Greuel to join him in L.A. and the couple were married in Toluca Lake, CA in 1967.

Bob worked in the entertainment industry for decades, first at NBC, in a career that saw him work his way from Page to Production Manager to Director of Facilities for NBC's famed Burbank studios. He then moved to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, where he was a key contributor to the televised Emmy awards coverage.

Bob's easygoing nature, natural charm and vibrant personality made him a friend to all, a treasured co-worker and, most importantly, a beloved husband, father and grandfather, the role he enjoyed most. Additionally, he loved cheering for the Chicago Cubs, traveling with Sharon to Hawaii and listening to jazz.
