About the McKelvey Foundation
In 1949, fourteen-year old Andy McKelvey purchased fresh eggs from a farmer in southern New Jersey and sold them from his wagon for a profit of 10 cents per dozen. In 1967, with neither capital nor clients, he founded Telephone Marketing Programs (TMP), and in the 1990s it expanded into recruitment advertising and became the acclaimed job search engine Monster.com
