My life is like a REALITY SHOW, one day I am wearing scrubs photographing a surgery in an operating room and just a few days later reviewing a Las Vegas show while at the same time taking photos of the live concert performance. You might find me in a kitchen reviewing a restaurant with one of Las Vegas' top chefs. The next week I am in Thailand riding an elephant or holding a cobra in Morocco. I do not know where I will be or what I will be doing week to week! As talk show host of the Las Vegas Today Show and Discover the Ultimate Vacation travel specials, I tape on location in Las Vegas and around the world. We INVITE the public to red carpets, events, openings, tastings, food demos, anytime these are open and not private. After 5 trips to China and years of research, I wrote the book "China, the Sleeping Dragon-A Travel Guide to China". My "John & Marsha" All American Burger chain commercial won the "Award of Excellance". I am the only member of the media covering such a wide variety of topics weekly. I review Shows/ Dining/ and Spas, travel writer, film & television reviewer, write about Medicine/ Fitness/ luxury lifestyles/ celebrities. Seeking jungle and island hideaways, unique honeymoons, unique settings for weddings, unique spa treatments, luxury resorts with extras.
