Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my website. Here you'll find hotel information, slideshows, and an online gallery where you can purchase my photographs. Although I've saved the best information for my guidebooks, this website will serve as a valuable online resource for anyone planning a trip to Acadia, Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, or Yosemite.

About Me...

In 1999 I was a recent college grad with no job and no job prospects. So I went back to coastal Maine, where I was born and raised, and wrote and self-published a guidebook to Acadia National Park. When it was published the response was overwhelming. At book signings people came up to me with dog-eared copies of my book, telling me it was the only guide they used. Sensing I might have a knack for this sort of thing, I moved West and wrote guidebooks to Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, Yosemite. To date my guidebooks have sold over 100,000 copies, and in 2010 and 2011 my Acadia, Yosemite, and Joshua Tree guides were the bestselling guidebooks to their respective national parks.

So thanks for your support. Because of you, I've got the best job in the world!
