I traded the island of Manhattan for the island of Yap in 2016 and moved to Guam in 2021 after a long career as a senior executive in marketing communications. The stories of companies and brands and the people behind them were my stock-in-trade then, but today I am telling the stories of the people and culture of the Pacific Region and how they live in the modern world while maintaining their traditional way of life. I am available to provide these and many other stories about the places I have lived and visited through the lens of both personal experience as well as interviews and observations. A regular contributor to the Pacific Island Times and other regional news media, my writing and photos have also appeared in the New York Times, National Geographic.com/Travel, http://www.goworldtravel.com, Transitions Abroad, Wooden Canoe Magazine, Journal for Weavers, Spinners & Dyers, and many others.
