  • Biography:

    Some facts about me:

    - I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area, which explains my love for sourdough bread, crab, burritos, and mildly eccentric behavior.

    - If you have a question about plant taxonomy, I’m your man. Seriously. A good portion of my travel around the world has been in search of rare plants, and I have the leech bites to prove it.

    - I can easily get carried away when discussing root beer.

    - People often tell me that I’m surprisingly tall, sometimes repeatedly. It’s no surprise to me, but apparently it is to other people.

    - I lived in London for a time, working at the Natural History Museum (one of the most beautiful buildings on the planet) and later in publishing. London is one of my favorite cities in the world, but I missed the outdoors, mild weather, and easy access to root beer and Mexican food we have here in California.

    - You can find me writing for the Community Blog, tweeting @LPUSAstaff and @lonelyplanet, my occasional travel blog posts on LP destination pages through the BlogSherpa program.
