About the author
A native Philadelphian, Robert L. Merz has written across several subjects, with a recurring focus on American ideals, ethics, leadership, and history. Available author biographies describe him as the principal of Values of America Publishing and note that he grew up near landmarks tied closely to the nation's founding, which helps explain the historical thread running through his work.
His background also reaches into the social sciences and labor relations. Author profiles for his recent books say he earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Tulane University and a master's degree in industrial relations from the University of Oregon.
Merz's published work shows a wide range of interests, from business and civic thought to earlier specialized research. That mix gives his writing an accessible, conversational feel while keeping attention on larger questions about character, leadership, and American public life.
