I grew up in the safari business and have dedicated a lot of my life to exploring, understanding, and enjoying the African landscape. I have planned and led expeditions throughout Africa my entire life, stretching back to my childhood, when I traveled on safari with my parents. They introduced me to some of the most remote areas on the continent, and I am thankful for all they showed me and allowed me to discover.

As an author, I write about love and personal relationships, and have previously released three titles—Growing Up in Africa and A Major Hoodwink, of which I am the author, and It Happened at Squeedunc Plantation, which I coauthored with my wife, Virginia Doyle. My most recent novel, The Sands of Katambora, carries readers to 1960s Central Africa for a tale of love, betrayal, and conflict that addresses the stress put on wildlife and wilderness by human activity.

I currently live in Houston, Texas, with my wife, and together, we continue to travel to Africa several times a year.
