I was born and raised in Santa Monica, California. My family relocated to Dallas, Texas when I was a teenager. I was working as a camera man in 1991 on a documentary video that took me through, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. I fell in love with Belize, and eventually moved there. This book is about what it is like to live in such a different, and young country. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did in writing it!
