Résumé
I've been writing professionally since 1992 - in fact, I did it exclusively until the year 2000, when I began working on Flyguides. I've amassed a fairly comprehensive body of work, with more than ten books and hundreds of articles on technology, aviation and travel for some of the biggest publications on earth.
