I have an intense reverence for nature and a thirst for adventure. After a varied career as a guide in places like Alaska and the Grand Canyon, and a wildlife biologist working on endangered species issues, I turned my attention to using words and imagery to document these adventures and to bring attention to important issues.  I now work as senior editor of Elevation Outdoors Magazine and as a freelance writer with works printed in publications including Climbing Magazine, The Boston Globe, Mother Jones, National Geographic Adventure, Filmmaker Magazine, Outside Online, WEND, & Women’s Adventure Magazine. Filled with a growing knowledge, unceasing energy, and the passion to create change, I am committed to telling important stories and protecting wild places.
