Biographical Info

Bob McMurtry
Bob McMurtry

Bob interned with the Office of Sustainability (OoS) in the summer of 2009. During his time there, he helped create the first organic vegetable garden on campus as well as assisted the OoS with preparing George Mason’s first ever Climate Action Plan. Since moving on from Mason’s OoS, Bob has become a tax accountant at Argy, Wiltse, and Robinson, P.C., a mid-sized accounting firm in Tysons Corner, VA. Most people hear the word Sustainability and think of greenies with braids in their hair and birkenstocks on their feet, not tax accountants in suits and ties. Bob thinks this stereotype is a load of pishposh! His time with Mason’s OoS taught him some great lessons that he uses on the job everyday. As part of his job he has to do research, just like he had to do for the CAP. He uses some of the same methods that he learned while interning with the OoS. Additionally, he is much more aware of the repercussions of even small decisions in the workplace, like printing double sided, or reading off the computer screen and not printing at all.
