About the Author

With pen in hand and camera strapped around his neck Dave Doroghy has visited over 50 different countries. A rarity, unlike most of the city's inhabitants he was actually born in Vancouver and spent most of his life living and working downtown. His careers have spanned radio broadcasting, advertising and finally 20 years in sports marketing where he was the Vice President of the former NBA Vancouver Grizzlies and more recently the Director of Sponsorship Sales for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Dave now lives on a floating home just outside of the city where he raises bees. Graeme Menzies has lived in seven cities across Canada, in the United States, England, and Brazil, but still thinks Vancouver is the prettiest of them all. An international marketing and communications professional with past experience in the arts, public policy, technology, sport, and higher education, Graeme's curiosity fuels his passion for discovering new places and for shedding new light on old ones.
