Running is my addiction. It's always present. I'm constantly thinking about my next run.

The natural resources we've depended on, if the places where they exist are not stable, our own livelihood and our health is put at risk.

In my heart, ever since I [was] a little kid, I've been an explorer.

Whether it's exploring the woods around where I grew up, or even today exploring the coastal habitats and environments where I live in New England, or in a remote wilderness we're featuring in one of my series - I love to be in the field and I love to explore.

The number one issue that Ocean Mysteries has opened my eyes to is, no matter where you are, whether you're on a beach in Hawaii, you're diving in the Pacific, you're in a remote archipelago, or you're in the middle of nowhere - I am blown away and sobered and crushed, emotionally crushed, by the amount of marine debris, of garbage, that is now in our ocean.

We live in a time where we have more extinction happening on our planet than since the dinosaurs were wiped out 50 million years ago.

I think a human animal is far more wild and unpredictable and dangerous and destructive than any other animal.
