How did I get here?

How did I get here? Well, looking back it all, it seems simple enough. I remember scoring a 10 out of a possible 10 as a designer on a job aptitude test back in high school. This was married with my childhood fantasy of becoming a television host of an exotic travel show.

In my role as Art Director of a trade travel magazine I have been able to do both. During the last ten years I have spent in publishing I have worked in all the major departments of magazine production. The position as afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with very talented photographers, meet some of the most important figures in the travel industry, travel the globe and win multiple awards.

My newest endeavors involve Web site development, filming and producing travel documentaries.
