Our Speaker, Bob Meistrell

Mr. Mastro is originally from Missouri and is happily married to his beautiful wife Pat, they have been married for 62 Years. Mr. Masto will be turning 85 in June and was gracious enough to  share his personal life experiences and how he begun building his company Body Glove.  He moved here to California from Missouri and being very passionate about the ocean he began building a dive and surf company, he started his company selling/renting wet/suits and dive gear. His goal was to make a bare minimum of $100 a day. He began working at the dive and surf shop on the weekends and this was between working as a lifeguard and working at Pancho's Restaurant. In the beginning he started with a partner and then eventually bought the partner's share of the company. They have remained good friends. It took some time but after much perseverance and hard work the company became very successful eventually they hired someone to build the logo which is now known all over the world. The logo represents the marketing slogan  "fits like a glove."  for their most highly sought after wet/suits.
