I specialize in original reported stories, destination guides, hotel news, and the occasional profile, with a focus on outdoor adventure, luxury lifestyle and wellness, wildlife experiences, and drive programs. Favorite assignments include tracking wild horses in Arizona, swimming with sharks in Hawaii, flying in a USAF trainer jet over Huntington Beach and off-roading in Joshua Tree. Personal travel highlights include crossing Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni in a Toyota Land Cruiser, scuba diving in Dahab, Egypt, hiking to the "Roof of Indochina" in Vietnam, and snowboarding in Hokkaido, Japan. My work has been featured in BBC Travel, Marie Claire, Condé Nast Traveler, and Fodor's.
