: About Me

Robert lives in St.John's Newfoundland where he currently works in the field of Behavioural & Developmental Psychology. He has various professional credentials and extensive formalized training. He has developed and implemented a methodology and an educational curriculum for practical applications of behaviour modification in everyday situations. This blending of crisis intervention, anger management and behaviour modification techniques provide the intervenor with a comprehensive knowledge base upon which they can draw from to cope and positively modify maladaptive behaviour.

Currently writing on Helium in areas of personnal interest, he draws from his unique life experiences for his creative work. He has worked as a fur trader, as a deckhand, a psychiatric nursing assistant, a child therapist, and a computer programmer. His sporadic passions include playing guitar, hunting, fly fishing and spending time with his two adorable children.

A very interesting man with strength, humour and compassion whose experiences can make you collapse in laughter or cry in sorrow. He hopes that through the written word you can occasionally go along with him and share in the experiences that despite ourselves, makes us who we are.

7 of 7

You were beautiful. And I can only say yes. Eternal will be my wonder. Why so blessed ? You were beautiful. And time is a thief, whose only defense is Life however brief. You were beautiful. And branded in my mind, an image framed in heartache forever will be mine. You were beautiful.
