BOB GEDDIE grew up in Elmore County and attended public schools in Robinson Springs and Wetumpka. After graduating from Marion Military Institute (A.A.) and Auburn University (BA), he joined the Washington staff of the late U.S. Senator John Sparkman as Sparksman's legislative assistant. He later coordinated Sparkman's Alabama offices. Geddie served for four years as Legislative Liaison and as Executive Assistant to Governor Fob James.

I have been in government relations for 25 years. I am a partner in a multi-client firm with a broad spectrum of clients in every major sector. Prior to joining Fine Geddie I worked in the Finance Department of both Republican and Democrat governors, where I oversaw procurement, information technology and fiscal/financial legislation. I have worked in the financial services sector in government relations and for the state' largest business association. I have successfully managed a wide array of legislative, regulatory, economic development, and procurement issues in state and local government.
