Freelance writing

I’ve always seen myself as a writer who does science, not a scientist who happens to write.

Storytelling, expression and communication have always been at the core of how I engage with science. My instinct is to observe and interpret the world curiosity, narrative, and reflection first, then analysis and data.

Throughout my career, I’ve written for radio, university media, national outlets, local outlets, magazines and paddling brands, such as:

• GQ Magazine

• Southern California Public Radio

• Mongabay

• New York Times Opinion

• Canoe and Kayak and SUP Magazines (both now Men’s Journal)

Interested in working with me? Let’s chat.

Selected stories:

• Northwest River Supplies (NRS), Stand-up paddling the seasonal transition in the Boundary Waters

• GQ Magazine, A razor’s edge of a warming world, Napa Valley and Miombo Woodlands vignettes

• Mongabay, With protections restored, tribal council charts new path for Bears Ears

• The New Lede, Plans for a Chinese corn mill in North Dakota spur uproar
