In 2009, my business partner and I launched a magazine on a simple idea: that deeper, richer, more fulfilling travel leads to better people living in a brighter world. Almost twenty years later, that idea couldn't be closer to the truth.
At Afar, we believe in the power of travel as a force for good. I spend my time in service of that purpose alongside an incredibly talented team of people who believe in one another and share similar values. Together we've grown Afar into a critically acclaimed, global brand that reaches 54 million travelers across six platforms. I'm proud of the work we do. I'm proud of our team. And I'm excited about what's ahead.
When I'm not on a plane or living life Afar, I have the privilege of calling Kennebunkport, Maine home. A 2020 move from the West Village of New York City to a coastal village of 3,700 opened up another world — for me, my wife Alex, and our daughter Coco.
Through my work, I've had the honor of being featured in The New York Times, CNN, Fast Company, and CBS This Morning, and have spoken at conferences, galas, and commencements around the world. Sharing the world is a passion of mine, and I hope to keep doing it for a long time.
