A journalist who has lived in three continents, Mike Snow has contributed articles on international politics, travel, finance, agriculture, health and other wide ranging topics to the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Los Angeles Times, Toronto Star, Stern Magazine, Miami Herald and dozens of other national and international publications, both as a reporter and combat correspondent in Asia and Africa and, in recent years, a travel writer who has been to more than 100 nations.

Mike’s incisive, candid reports got him expelled from two countries, and in the U.S. censored for challenging the establishment narrative on industrialized agriculture. To generate greater public awareness of the issue, he has served on panels with prominent independent scientists and authorities, including Dr. Shiv Chopra, formerly a lead researcher at Health Canada, and Stephen Druker, whose Altered Genes Twisted Truth was called by famed anthropologist Jane Goodall "without a doubt one of the most important of the past 50 years." In 2015, a panel he organized for the annual Whistleblower Summit in Washington, DC which explored the media’s failure to perform its traditional watchdog role on questions of food safety.

Mike’s knowledge of financial markets, international politics and food safety have earned him, respectively, diverse assignments as an arbitration judge and an international elections supervisor, as well as certification as a master gardener. He once operated a gold mining company in Bolivia, and was expelled from Cuba after falsely being falsely accused of spying on the island nation. Despite advanced degrees in both journalism and international relations, he counts his widespread travels as his most valuable learning experiences. The most interesting people he has encountered on his trips, and by living in Africa, Asia, and South America, he believes, have not been princes and presidents, but people such as 103-year-old Gregorio Fuentes, the inspiration behind Ernest Hemingway’s Old Man and the Sea.
