About the Author:
Bruce Northam is a 37-year-old adventure author, speaker and tourism consultant. The demo is complete for his forthcoming TV series American Detour - written and hosted by Bruce, the 52-part series crosses each state in the most intriguing mode while unearthing unsung heros.

A contributing editor for Blue magazine, he's written for Details, Swing, New Choices, Sharing Ideas, Student World Traveler and Student Travels (former Editor-in-Chief).
"Resume" includes piloting a Manhattan horse-drawn carriage, teaching in rural Japan, acting as a stunt man in Chinese action movies, shepherding in Morocco, moonlit beach dancing in Goa, India, walking coast-to-coast across both Northern England and Wales with his father, and playing naked Frisbee with New Guinea natives. Interviewed in "Ask the Experts" (Reader's Digest); Bruce is a regular on CNN, Talk America Radio and Editor-at-Large for the World Peace Through Technology Organization.
