Meet the Team: John Galligan
Meet John Galligan, Lucid’s COO and Co-Founder!
John joined forces with our CEO, Bethany Robinson, and started Lucid back in 2016. He plays a pivotal role in ensuring Lucid stands out amongst other IT staffing firms as we pride ourselves on not being one of the many. John is the second team member we are excited to highlight in our new “Meet the Team” series. Check out his questions and answers below, and learn more about John, or JG as many of us call him, on the “Our Team” page of our website.
A long-time Bloomington resident and graduate of IU, John lives on his “ranch” with his wife, Bethany; son, Will; daughter, Maggie; and pup, Jimmy Taco. If not working for Lucid or around his property, you can probably find John at the Uptown, skiing down a mountain, or sipping a margarita on a beach. No matter where he is or what he’s doing he’s usually surrounded by friends and family listening to the many stories about the adventures of John Galligan.
