Growing up in the quaint hamlet of Ester in the heart of Alaska, James Truett developed an appreciation for nature, photography and publishing at an early age.
He began his career as a journalist and photographer for the local newspaper at the age of 14, picked up his private pilot's license at the age of 17, and by the age of 19, he had moved to Seattle and joined The Associated Press, eventually becoming one of the youngest journalists in the world to be published in every major newspaper in the world.
Over the years, he developed an avid interest in sailing, and has traveled extensively by boat, auto and air in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America, Ireland and the UK.
He resides in County Clare, Ireland, from where he manages his portfolio of art, photography and publishing projects.
