Maxa is the host and executive producer of 85 half-hour travel shows on the world's great destinations that are broadcast on public television in the U.S. with titles such as Smart Travels: Europe with Rudy Maxa,[2]Smart Travels: Pacific Rim with Rudy Maxa,[3] and—since 2008—Rudy Maxa's World[4].
Maxa began his career in journalism after graduating from Ohio University[5] as an investigative reporter, magazine writer, and personalities columnist at The Washington Post.
His reporting on a Capitol Hill sex scandal and the resulting changes in congressional rules was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and he received the John Hancock Award for Excellence in Business and Financial Journalism for a series of stories on an international Ponzi scheme.[6]
He left the Post to become a senior editor at the city magazine Washingtonian (1983–92) and also worked as the Washington bureau chief of Spy magazine (1992–94). He is a contributing editor with National Geographic Traveler magazine and Delta Air Lines' magazine, Sky.
He is the author of two nonfiction books, Dare To Be Great (1976)[7] and Public Trust, Private Lust (1977).
He has written articles for GQ,Forbes,USA Today,Modern Maturity,Playboy,Town & Country Travel,Travel & Leisure, and dozens of other newspapers and magazines.
He wrote for the ABC-TV drama series Capital News and for several years hosted a Saturday-morning radio talk show on political issues for WRC-AM, Washington, D.C.
Maxa attributes his desire to travel partly to the fact he grew up as a military brat.[8] Maxa lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has a daughter and a son, Alex Maxa, who runs Gillibus, a vintage bus rental service in San Francisco.[9][10]
