Bob Luder began his career as an award-winning journalist in 1983 as a sports reporter for The Daily Reporter-Herald in Loveland, Colorado. That was followed by a 24-year stint as a sports writer/reporter at The Kansas City Star, where he worked the beats of just about every level of sports, from high schools to professional. Though he interviewed countless highly-famous athletes during his career, Bob counts an interview with pop superstar Elton John back in the 1990s an encounter that left him most star-struck. An '83 graduate of Kansas University's William Allen White School of Journalism, Bob began writing for Lawrence Business Magazine about 10 years ago and has reported on and written about everything from long-standing local businesses, the fire department, Allen Field House, and most recently, the development of Alvamar. He also writes for several publications in the Kansas City area, as well as Baldwin City. When he's not writing, Bob enjoys running, playing golf, and attending live music events.
