about this author

I'm the author of "Where Am I Wearing: A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes." I'm also a freelance writer who focuses on globalization, travel, and the outdoors. I've spent the night in Castle Dracula in Romania, gone undercover as an underwear buyer in Bangladesh, played PlayStation in Kosovo, taught an island village to play baseball in Honduras, and in another life, worked as a SCUBA instructor in Key West, Florida.

I live with my (as of 11/08) very pregnant wife Annie in Muncie, IN, the hometown of Garfield.

Faces of Honduras

I've been watching/listening/browsing the news a lot lately for updates on Honduras. Usually after talks of Michael Jackson and Iran the coup gets a brief mention. When I hear the stories, I think back to my time in the country in 2005, which I briefly mention in my book, and I see faces.


These are a few of those faces…
