Armed with BSJ and MSJ degrees from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, I served a number of years as a U.S. State Department Foreign Service diplomat. My language skills include full fluency in French and some in Dutch, Spanish and Arabic. I traveled widely in Europe, Africa and Asia before retiring to a new career as fulltime freelance food, wine and travel photojournalist (and, occasionally, cartoonist.) My work has appeared in the St. Petersburg Times; Miami Herald; Tampa Tribune; Orlando Sentinel; Globe & Mail (Toronto); Miami Today; Robb Report; The Rotarian; Florida Monthly; Georgia Magazine; Accent on Tampa Bay; Veterans Today; Naval History; Boys Life; Cricket; Cobblestone; Tampa Bay Illustrated.
