I am not a journalist, but I am often consulted for my expertise on all things travel and all things Catholic.
I’ve been running a successful tour company since 2004, personally bringing thousands of people on pilgrimage across Europe and the Middle East.
I am an American who has lived in Rome since 2014. My apartment is just steps away from the Vatican (my walk to Saint Peter’s Square takes 60 seconds) meaning I am often the first on the scene any time Vatican news breaks, including the death of Pope Benedict.
For remote camera interviews, my terrace makes in excellent back drop.
