Dugard began writing professionally in 1988.[citation needed] Bored by an unfulfilling corporate marketing job, he began writing articles for endurance sports magazines such as Competitor and Runner's World in the mornings and on weekends.[citation needed] In 1993, inspired by a three-week journey to Madagascar to cover the Raid Gauloises adventure race, Dugard left the corporate world to pursue a full-time writing career.[citation needed] Although he has returned to journalism from time to time, as when covering the Tour de France from 1999 to 2008, Dugard's primary focus is writing narrative non-fiction.[citation needed] Dugard wrote his first work of history in 2000.[citation needed] . He is also a track and field coach under Sean Zeitler in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.[3]
