Robert Gary Dodds is renowned for his quick wit and sense of humor. As a published author, he is becoming a serious writer specializing in biographies and historical research. Proficient in assessing and reading people, he asks intuitive questions that unveil the facts essential to crafting a compelling story.

Born in England with Scottish and Cornish heritage, he married into a family rooted in Jamaica's Scottish history and maintains extensive global connections. He engages in charitable endeavors wherever he and his family reside.  He serves on the Global Advisory Council of the Akilah Women’s Institute of Rwanda.

Comfortable in diverse cultures, Robert, along with his wife Mary, who is forty-six years old, has resided in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the Asia Pacific regions, and North America. He has also undertaken projects in the West Indies and Latin America.

He's demonstrated equal ease in Qatar's arid desert quarter with Bedouin tribespeople or in the lush Blue Mountains of Jamaica with old friends. However, his greatest joy is spending time with his grandchildren, children, wife, and three miniature schnauzers in North Carolina, where they retired from their international careers in December 2014.

Robert adopted Americanized English spelling due to over two decades of residence in or work for USA companies and asks for understanding from non-American English-language readers.

We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language. 

By the English author Oscar Wilde, in his short story, The Canterville Ghost, 1887.
