Bob L Boldt

An engineer by training, Bob has had a life-long fascination with cars, boats and any mechanical device that exhibits beautiful design. He was drawn to Fleur du Lac by the remarkable life of its creator Henry J Kaiser, and the sheer beauty and mysique of the iconic Lake Tahoe Estate. After a career in banking and investments provided the means, Bob and his wife and co-author Paula became one of the lucky owners of a home at Fleur du Lac, and have even acquired one of the original Kaiser family wooden boats. This book was written as homage to the families that have made Fleur du Lac what it is today.

Bob has been the CEO and CIO of organizations entrusted to manage some of the largest pools of capital in the world including the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, the State of California Public Employees Retirement System funds, and the endowment funds of the University of Texas System. After a lifetime of international business travel and numbers-filled spreadsheets, Bob now enjoys traveling for fun with his wife Paula, writing, photography, playing with his grandkids, and spending as much time as possible at beautiful Fleur du Lac.
