The thriving international city of New Orleans is brimming with delicious food, unique music and eccentric -sometimes backwards- culture. Exposure to such a rich, diverse environment pushed a young Jeffrey Pipes Guice to explore more. He would spend years in Washington D.C. and New York City, and travel the world. He traversed Europe, Asia, Africa, and even spent some time in Antarctica. He even spent time visiting exciting places like Jerusalem, Havana, Yemen, Argentina and Phuket, all in search of discovery.

Together as one he was to assume...
