His relentless advocacy efforts, sometimes against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, have earned him a reputation as “every consumer’s best friend.”

He’s the author of "Scammed: How to Save Your Money and Find Better Service in a World of Schemes, Swindles, and Shady Deals" (Wiley), a manifesto for empowering consumers and encouraging corporate responsibility, and "How to Be the World’s Smartest Traveler" (and Save Time, Money, and Hassle) (National Geographic Books/Random House), the definitive manual for having a better trip.
