By trusting my instincts and pursuing my passions, I’ve created a life filled with multiple careers, from stand-up comedian to award-winning travel writer; from two-time National Geographic author to writing the nation’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook; from running for office to owning and operating a bed and breakfast.

I’ve also embarked on countless adventures and pursuits including backpacking across Europe, motorcycling across America, cruising the world, founding non-profits, commissioning a sculpture of a very courageous woman, teaching students history and civics in Washington, D.C., writing and producing training videos, taking the stage at conferences and conventions, and addressing international audiences as a speaker with the Cunard Lines’ prestigious Insights Series.

As a lifelong learner driven by an insatiable curiosity, I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Liberal Studies.
