Introduction

Mexico is a mysterious country. As an award-winning writer, I've found it fascinating over the last 15 years. During that time, I've published over 500 articles about it covering every facet of the culture from colonial cities to the stock market. While doing research, I've traveled to over half of the 31 states in Mexico and have stayed in all types of hotels and inns, including some magnificent old haciendas.

A photographer as well, I've captured on film the nuiances that make Mexico such an endearing destination. I cannot only supply my own quality illustrations, but can also create photo essays and picture stories.

In addition to Mexico, I also have written hundreds of articles about other destinations, covering unrest in Northern Ireland, gallery hopping in Paris, Russia without Communism, and honeymooning in Rio. For more information and a look at other works, check out my main Web site and also my specialty Mexico Web site.
