The Ample Traveler© is a compilation of the travel experiences and expertise of the following three people and one very special cat:

 

 

Pattie Thomas, Ph.D.is a sociologist and expert in stigmatization.  Her book, Taking Up Space was published in 2005 by Pearlsong Press, Inc. of Nashville, TN.  In addition to her work as a sociologist, she has eight years experience as a journalist.  She is also a photographer and filmmaker. She understands accessibility issues firsthand, being both a person of size and a sufferer of Lupus.  Before founding Three Wise Twins and journeying as one-third of The Ample Traveler©, she co-produced First Person, Plural, a weekly spoken-word, one-hour documentary radio show airing on Canadian public radio for two years.

 

Carl Wilkerson, MBA is a communications and presentation expert, trained at the top-ranked Goizueta School of Business at Emory University.  He is conversant with both Canadian and American media production market environments.  He has two years experience in managing a web-based retail business and over ten years experience in the entertainment business.  He is also a filmmaker, composer and performer.  He understands accessibility issues from his personal experience as a long-term family caregiver. Before founding Three Wise Twins and journeying as one-third of The Ample Traveler© , he co-produced First Person, Plural, a weekly spoken-word, one-hour documentary radio show airing on Canadian public radio for two years.

 

Steve Thomas is certified in software, hardware and web-based technologies.  He has fifteen years experience in personal computer environments.  He also has experience as a disc jockey and photographer.  He has driven over a million miles as a professional driver, holding a Class A Commercial Driver's License.  He has used his expertise in computers and road travel to create a high quality mobile unit able to produce sound, video and web-based media from the road.  He understands accessibility issues firsthand, being a person of size.  Before founding Three Wise Twins and journeying as one-third of The Ample Traveler© , he developed several web sites and had extensive experience in medical transcription technologies.

 

Anawim is travel companion, consort, special disabled pet editor and mascot for The Ample Traveler©.  She has 8 years experience of taking over all media devices, including chasing computer lights, turning off CD players in mid-track, sitting on any and all open books or papers, and scratching on doors or chairs during sensitive recording sessions.  Anawim understands accessibility issues firsthand, being a sufferer of a congenital condition akin to cerebral palsy in humans that makes it difficult for her to control her back legs when she walks or runs.  As a result of her limited back-end ability, she walks on a leash twice a day instead of using a litter box.  Anawim has proven that limited abilities don't diminish star quality.  She has managed to win a part in every video produced by us thus far and is a frequent object of our photography.
