Celebrity Spotlight – Bob Guiney

Bob Guiney is another prominent and beloved member of the Unbridled Family. Many first came to know Bob from his national television appearances, where he was a contestant on the very first season of The Bachelorette and later starred as the Bachelor on season four of The Bachelor. His charm and authenticity won over audiences, and those same qualities have made him an enduring part of the Unbridled community. 

Bob first connected with the York Sisters following his time on television, and he has been a dedicated supporter of Unbridled ever since. He has helped secure multiple silent auction experiences and has played an active role in elevating our charitable mission. One of the highlights of his involvement has been his friendship with NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon. Together, Bob and Warren have hosted memorable dinners for Silent Auction winners, creating one-of-a-kind experiences that our supporters will never forget. 

Beyond his Unbridled contributions, Bob has built a multifaceted career. He graduated from Michigan State University, where he was both a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and a walk-on quarterback for the Spartans. He has worked as a television personality, hosting GSN Live from 2009 to 2012 and appearing on other programs including TLC’s Date My House

Bob is also a talented musician. He performed with the Lansing-based band “Fat Amy” before reuniting with his bandmates as the Bob Guiney Band to release the album 3 Sides in 2003. In addition, he is a member of the philanthropic group Band From TV, which features actors such as Greg Grunberg, James Denton, Hugh Laurie, and Jesse Spencer, with all proceeds from their performances going to charity. 

His creativity extends beyond music. In 2003, Bob authored What a Difference a Year Makes: How Life’s Unexpected Setbacks Can Lead to Unexpected Joy, a heartfelt book sharing his life journey and the lessons he has learned. 

Through all his endeavors, whether on television, in music, through writing, or in charity, Bob has consistently demonstrated generosity, joy, and authenticity. We are grateful that he brings that same spirit to Unbridled, where he continues to help create unforgettable moments for our guests and meaningful support for our beneficiaries.
