Ryan Windsor’s Summary

I started Alcatraz Media in 1999, and continue to operate the business on a daily basis. It started as an accidental company. The story is too long to post here, but it is a funny one.

I like to travel and photograph vacation destinations and tourist attractions around the world. As a registered travel agent, I am able to work while I enjoy tours and activities in places like the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, Miami, and Hawaii, to name a few.
