About me

I've been a professional freelance writer going on 10 years now.

To date, my work has been published in nine countries and I've also co-authored two guidebooks on Yosemite climbing. I've also worked in-house as Alpinist Magazine's digital editor.

My story "Going Home" (cover of Alpinist 51) was selected for literary excellence and is included in Best American Sports Writing 2016. An excerpt from that piece is below:

Then she tells me about jumping off El Cap in the moonlight with Dean and Stanley: "It feels better than anything I've ever felt as a human." Human. She pronounces it as if we're just another animal in the kingdom. A sedan crawls along the dirt road behind a fence, briefly interrupting the stillness. Its headlights blink through the slats. Red taillights leave tracers in our peripheral vision. The sky emanates a dark blue, the stars blurred by yellow lights from El Portal."
