Moto-Foodie is the synthesis of touring adventures with that of my culinary writing. The concept of terroir pairs perfectly with that of travel exploration and since the very essence of a land and its people is food, I've adopted the motto: Ride to Eat; Eat to Ride. I've work with hotels, restaurants, farmers, food producers, and tourism organizations to develop and promote destinations of interest to touring- and foodie enthusiasts.

I've been a contributing editor to a number of and am the author of three guidebooks. I was the North American consultant for Tourisme-Charlevoix where I co-developed motorcycle tourism and culinary FAM tours. Previous to that was the "scout master" who developed routes for MAD (Motor Adventure Destination) Maps.

Different tourism markets require slightly different approaches, but whether one travels by four wheels or two the link between a region and its food is what I focus on.
