About

I live with my wife, Jennifer Smith-Mayo (a documentary photographer), and our two dear dogs on the rugged coast of Maine, a stunning region rich in history and natural beauty.

When I’m not engaged in fisticuffs with grizzlies, defending my family from kill-crazy sea creatures, or fixing up our old house, me and the mrs. like to travel.

We’ll use any excuse to head West, the Outer Hebrides, the Yukon—to any place we can score cheap tickets. Next stop: Our castle in Ireland, then it’s on to our secret volcano hideout in Fiji, then back to our ranch in Montana….
