In My Own Words

I’m a Los Angeles-based full-time freelance writer covering outdoor sports, adventure, environmental issues, travel, and arts & culture. I write a profile series called “Trailblazers” for Modern Hiker; other recent bylines include Alpinist, Backpacker, Outside Online, Adventure Journal, Land+People, Matador Network, Verticulture, Adventure Film School, and REI Co-Op Journal. My book 'Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Southern California' will be released in November 2017 via Mountaineers Books.
