Area of Expertise:

Professional Experience:

I have been at the forefront of protected area and sustainable landscape management in developing countries over the past 20 years, working such diverse areas as wildlife, watershed and tourism management. Working closely with local communities and businesses, government agencies, private/public sectors in training and capacity building, policy development and management needs. As a former university lecturer for "Tourism & Protected Areas" I have helped steer tourism concepts and policy for government agencies. My background as a successful adventure tourism operator continually gives me hands on experience with current visitor needs, creating new Eco and adventure tour activities, tour business marketing and social media networking.
