Bio

When I’m not zigzagging around the planet — swimming alongside sea lions in the Galapagos, trekking glaciers in Iceland or roaming the remote jungles of India — I’m writing about my adventures, the environment, fitness, health/wellness, extraordinary people and social injustice issues.

I’ve written for USA Today, ISLANDS, Sherman’s Travel, Caribbean Travel & Life, Cayman Airways Skies, American Eagle Latitudes, Orlando Sentinel, abcnews.com, FirstMonday, Breathe, Where Orlando, Where First Coast, nileguide.com, tripatlas.com, Pegasus, Orlando Arts Magazine, Orlando Style, Central Florida Lifestyle, Upscale and Wild Blue Yonder.

Throughout my journalism career I’ve had the privilege of interviewing Mike Rowe ,host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs With Mike Rowe; the legendary Arnold Palmer; Olympic gold medalist Phil Dalhausser; Oprah Winfrey’s trainer Bob Green; Iron Chef star Cat Cora; Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Zak Bagans, host of the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures; Andy DeHart, shark adviser for Discovery; Marie Claire senior fashion editor Zanna Roberts Rassi, Darren Frei, editorial director of ShermansTravel.com, Jeralyn Gerba, senior features editor at dailycandy.com and many more. I’m also an editor and photographer, and I have a strong background in public relations, too. To sum it up, I have a knack for rounding up facts, reliable storytelling, deadline-chasing, project-juggling and wiggling my ears (which hasn’t come in handy yet).
