Our Team

Bob is an educator and a department head for social studies at a local St. John’s high school. He has had a varied professional career including teaching English in Japan, working in the insurance industry and serving as a manager at the provincial Department of Education. His true passion, however, has always revolved around anything related to history; including that of Newfoundland and Labrador. Bob’s love of Newfoundland’s culture and past was what prompted him to join McCarthy’s Party and it has been a seamless fit. 

Bob is what Newfoundlanders call a “townie”, having been born and bred in St. John’s, but as his mother’s family was from the “bay” he spent his summer’s travelling the island, pretty much visiting every nook and cranny, and even a few spots in Labrador. Bob spends much of his free time curling, walking, reading and socializing (a Newfoundland tradition!). He is a budding thespian and singer having been cast in several musicals. Not surprisingly, Bob enjoys being in front of an audience. Bob has a quick and insightful wit and he can weave a spellbinding narrative from even the most esoteric topic. His passion for this province and his eclectic and wide-ranging knowledge base are evident in his tours. 

Bob strives to make every tour he gives enjoyable, informative and memorable and the biggest compliment you could possibly give him would be “the tour was best kind!” (local expression for very good or satisfied)
