When I am not on the road, I write about luxury lifestyle and products, shopping, real estate development, and museums. I enjoy exploring these subjects and interviewing people for a variety of magazines including AAA Magazines, American Style, Islands Magazine, National Geographic Traveler, Rolls Royce Owner’s Desk Diary and Luxury Travel.
