Biography
In the early 60s, when I was 6 years old, my great-uncle Jack gave me the most important gift I ever received; a subscription to National Geographic. Until then, I really had no idea how big the world was. I was hooked. For a while I wanted to be Jane Goodall observing the chimpanzees. Then I wanted to be Richard Leakey, discovering the oldest skeleton of mankind. I wanted to explore the pyramids, visit the Great Wall, see the castles of Europe. I've managed to travel more than anyone in my family ever had the opportunity or inclination to do. It is a passion that only grows stronger the older I get.
