Writing

Ledger painting, by Terrance Guardipee

My writing synthesizes information into convincing narrative arcs for maximum impact. I have a demonstrated track record of increasing readership and revenue for top publishing companies across media channels and will do the same for you. My reporting beats are the outdoor industry (sports, gear, and adventure travel), environmental issues, wilderness access, and health & wellness.

Below are links to a selection of freelance work. I’ve also published in The New York Times, Men’s Journal, POWDER, Plenty, NatuRx, Outdoor Industry Association, Outdoor Industry Compass, and more. (The bulk of my published work, however, was produced as an editor for Outside, Yoga Journal, American Cowboy, and Mountain Time magazines—no bylines in other words.)
