Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

I have a penchant for experiences and places strange and quirky, for the far-flung destinations off the map, and the roadside attractions along the Great American Interstate Highway System. From the Bone Ossuary in Czech Republic to the giant fiberglass rooster north of Duluth Minnesota, 100 feet under the sea in Palau, to the world's least populated country in Niue, I love the world and all it's weird beauty. Also, I worked in Antarctica for ten years.
