About


I'm a freelance writer based on California's Central Coast. I write about science, travel, and the environment for magazines, newspapers and websites.

I've covered everything from the economics of New Zealand's fisheries to quirky ski-town cocktails, and I specialize in writing profiles. Some of my favorites: a Star Wars-quoting carbon markets entrepreneur; a group of Buddhist monks living near Mt. Shasta; a ski-crazy scientist studying dust's effect on snowpacks; and a marathon swimmer who fuels his long-distance river swims with Slovenian wine. I'm also a family travel expert for Away.com.

I blog about two things I love--natural history and food--at Fork + Fauna. When I'm not eating or writing, I'm out playing with my family in the waves or on the trail.
