As long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to travel and experience as much of our world as possible.I grew up in Tukwila, Washington, near Seattle, beneath the flight paths of thousands of planes. From my childhood home I watched them come and go from Sea-Tac airport to places unknown. I didn’t know much about the world. But I did know that I wanted to go to those places unknown.

After finishing my studies at the University of Washington, I fled Seattle as quickly as possible. Though I am most known for living in Morocco, where I have called home for over a decade, I have also lived for extended amounts of time in San Francisco, Key West, London, Prague and Paris, on a couple of occasions. My family also keeps a home in Andalusia, Spain, where my parents have retired.

With Moon Travel Guides, I work hard to relay my hard-won, on the ground expertise into entertaining and informative travel books. Along the way I have really enjoyed working on my photography as well. I am fortunate that many of my own pictures grace the pages of these full-color travel guides.

Today I live in Tangier with my talented, patient, superhero wife and our eight year-old, LEGO-loving, fromage-stuffing, class-clowning, über-precocious ninja-in-training son and our four year-old daughter who twirls her way through a world of Arabic, English, French, and Spanish, giggling all the while.
