For Our Friends the Animals: Cultivating a Reverence for Life - Robert M. Echols
Robert Echols was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and currently resides in the charming city of Fairhope on Mobile Bay. Stemming from his faith and avocation, he self-identifies as a Christ-driven influencer, thought leader, and advocate for a "Reverence for Life," the ethos given to the world by Dr. Albert Schweitzer. This ethos at its core mandates that all humanity bestow the love of Jesus liberally and universally on all creatures who cross our path. Since his retirement from Monsanto as Director of Business Conduct in late 2008, Echols has been engaged in a variety of volunteer activities. Prior to his tenure at Monsanto, Echols served as attorney and ethics officer for a variety of Defense Department contractors and served in philanthropic and consulting positions. He also served as an active-duty U.S. Army Attorney at West Point. Echols grew up in Exeter, New Hampshire and was educated at the Phillips Exeter Academy. He received his B.A. from New York University and his J.D./M.B.A. from Emory University. Mr. Echols was also privileged to serve in the U.S. Army as an enlisted man from 1973 to 1976.
