I sold my home in 2007 to travel around the world for a year. That year has turned into a decade as I never really stopped. Early in my travels, I discovered world heritage sites and I started going out of my way to visit them. The first few didn't require any extra effort, but when I made a special trip to the island of Rennell in the Solomon Islands, I knew I was hooked.
During my travels, I taught myself photography and have been named Travel Photographer of the Year three times in North America.
I have been to over 380 UNESCO World Heritage sites around the world. I photograph and document each site I visit and post about it on my website.
My most impressive site: Nahanni National Park
My proposal for a new site: Denali National Park
