Bob Curley
Editorial Consultant
A professional writer and full-time freelance journalist since 1993, Bob has penned articles about food, style, Caribbean vacations, nonprofit fundraising, public policy, and well-being. The latter makes him a natural fit for MeYou Health, where he is the writer and editor of daily news stories on well-being, including physical activity, healthy eating, emotional health, and several other related topics. Bob also has been a writer and editor for 17 years at Join Together, where he produces original content for professionals in the addiction treatment and prevention field.
Finding inspiration in knowledge, Bob is quick to admit his most over-used phrase is "ummm," though it seldom every finds its way to the page, or blog post. With a keen eye for human interest stories, Bob's ability to delve far into the world of health to write compelling articles and cover timely health issues makes him a huge asset to the team. Not to mention that he's the go-to guy to learn more about traveling to the Caribbean: his alter ego goes by the name Caribbean Travel Guide for About.com.
An author of a travel guidebook, "Off the Beaten Path in Rhode Island," as well as hundreds of magazine articles for publications such as Wedding Style, Marriage, Meeting News, Business Traveler, Continental Airlines, and Oxygen, Bob is an active member of the Society of American Travel Writers. When he's not writing or traveling, Bob enjoys endless hours of playing hockey, football or softball.
