Joined Atlas Obscura in 2015

I have never lived in one place for more than a few years, and eight years in the military only amplified my nomadic tendencies. I’ve worked in the film industry, interviewed celebrities on red carpets, worked for a member of the House of Representatives and also National Geographic and Discovery. As an accomplished diver I have a weakness for sunken ships and Underwater Archaeology.
