About

World traveler, foodie, father of two. My purpose is to travel the world, and share it with you.

Home airports

ATL all the way.

My travel style

My ideal trip combines the thrill of discovery with the creativity of luxury. I thrive on exploring new destinations and diving into culture head-first, primarily through food, drink and conversations with locals. I am equally comfortable in a major city or in the great outdoors – I love anything new and novel.
