Ok so i am finishing up my paper and i have some information I got from an interview with a facility member at my university. how would i cite the information?
It is APA format
Say i use his information, his name is bob smith.
Example - "The university has done work with the Green Team "
How would i show that i got that information from the interview?
Would i also show that i interviewed him in my bibliography?

In standard APA format, you don't cite personal interviews in the bibliography, because it's not a permanent resource someone could consult. Sometimes teachers are fussy and want every source in your bibliography anyway, you can ask if your professor does and if he has a format he prefers. The way I have previously seen it is:
Smith, B. (2007, March 1). Professor of Smithology, Whoop-Dee-Doo University. Personal communication.
In the text, it would look like:
"The blue-necked warbler has a habitat ranging from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River (B. Smith, personal communication, March 1, 2007).

Q: What format should I follow to cite an interview?
A: An interview is not considered recoverable data, so no reference to this is provided in the References. You may, however, cite the interview within the text as a personal communication. For example,
(J. Smith, personal communication, August 15, 2001)
