B.B.
ANDERSEN's BIO as we first saw it on the CBS
Survivor Website: |
Originally from South Dakota, B.B.
studied Civil Engineering at Kansas State
University in Manhattan, Kansas, before becoming a
general contractor and real estate developer. His
talents eventually allowed him to own and  operate
a successful construction and development company.
Also active in politics, Andersen was appointed by
President Reagan to the Advisory Board of the
Defense Intelligence Agency where he then served
for 11 ½ years. It was also known that he
declined several ambassadorships that were offered
him during the Bush administration.
An
adventure-seeker by nature, B.B. has toured
through Mexico, the western United States and the
Great Lakes on his motorcycle. An avid sailor, he
had a 53' ketch built in La Rochelle, France and
sailed it from the Bay of Biscay into the
Mediterranean Sea where he eventually moored it in
Hyere, France. In 1993, he sailed from Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida across the Atlantic to Lisbon,
Portugal and the Canary Islands. While skiing
remains his favorite sport, he is also a certified
scuba diver. Additionally, he has logged over
8,500 hours of flight time as a private pilot and
holds multi-engine, commercial and instrument
ratings.
B.B. currently divides
his time between Mission Hills, Kansas, and Vail,
Colorado, with his wife and their daughter. He has
four additional children who live and work around
the country. Still active in real estate
development, he is currently a member of World
Presidents Organization, Kansas City Presidents
Organization and the Vail Valley Foundation.
