Biography

As an environmental consultant, I have, for the last 20 years, written for land development companies and government agencies requiring technical and scientific guidance in the environmental disciplines. Over time, my interests and yearnings have wandered into travel journalism as an opportunity to explore more creative outlets and utilize long neglected photography skills. In addition to science and nature, my primary destination interests are creative and cultural family destinations, my children, Eastern Europe - my birthplace - and the occasional offbeat experience. Emphasis is on whatever unique niches and opportunities I or my children uncover in my travels.
