Writer, organizer, guide

I am a writer based on the Colorado Plateau. In a decade of living in southern Utah, I’ve worked as a farmer, prep cook, first responder, organizer, political strategist, campaign manager, bike guide, and seamster.

I have sought experiences which bring focus and urgency to larger issues. From managing campaigns in rural counties to months-long backcountry trips, intimate understanding of place builds connection. I believe that in deepening my knowledge of a place, I will also learn a greater breadth with which to approach it.

Our response to pressing problems – whether they affect a town of 300 or a watershed of 40 million – must come from a place of understanding, respect, and possibility. The stories we share become the setting for solutions. Optimism is an effective tool when used correctly. I strive to make joy and hope with each story and campaign I create.
