Robert McKelvie
I've written dozens of web articles in the past few years mainly on favorite subjects such as Health & Wellness, Business & Finance, and Education & Career. My background is in research and IT services but I've kept up with the development of new knowledge in the social sciences, fitness and medicine over the years. My experiences in school and in private enterprise guide my writing in both business and education topics.
It's a pleasure to help people through some of the pitfalls and minefields of life and I try to motivate others to keep a positive attitude as they improve their knowledge and behavior along the way. Nobody's perfect but if we each try to get a bit better each day the world could improve a lot.
My favorite subjects in addition to the topics I write about include economics, history, philosophy, and mystery/crime fiction. I like winning money at blackjack and taking cruises when possible. As a former Naval Officer, I love the sea, foreign lands and different cultures. I hope you find my work beneficial.
