About me

I'm a storyteller, explorer, and proponent of reasonable recklessness who has circumnavigated the globe six times. I'm also the producer and host of upcoming television travel docu-series Fly Brother (debuting April 2020 on PBS Member Stations), host of the travel- and culture-focused Fly Brother Radio Show, and publisher of multicultural travel portal FlyBrother.net. My writing includes fiction, literary essay, and travel narrative, having been featured in Time Out London, USA Today, Getaway, Ebony, The Manifest-Station, Sinking City, Lakeview Journal, Matador Network, National Geographic Traveler’s Brazil and Bradt’s Tajikistan guidebooks, and at TravelChannel.com. I'm also nonfiction editor at literary travel journal Panorama, former assistant editor at Time Out São Paulo, and founding editor of digital men’s magazine Abernathy.

Appearing on the Travel Channel television series Destination Showdown and Jamaica: Bared, as well as in the 2013 documentary film about the dangers of mass tourism, Gringo Trails, I work as a voice over artist for radio, film and television, audiobooks, and educational materials, and speak to youth and adult audiences about the incomparable magic of international travel.

A Florida native, bone-n-bread, my obsessions include Indian curry, the city of São Paulo, and Rita Hayworth.
