My background in science started with degrees in biology and wildlife ecology. This led to feature articles in outlets like Wired, Smithsonian, Scientific American, the Nature Conservancy and New Scientist. I helped launch and edit the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, and I’m a Contributing Editor at Archaeology Magazine.
Along the way I've cultivated a skill for diving deep into complex topics, with a focus on green tech and conservation. I've interviewed countless scientists, researchers and officials, from field ecologists to prime ministers, and I know how to translate technical jargon and PR-speak into compelling copy.

My book Aloha Rodeo: Three Hawaiian Cowboys, the World's Greatest Rodeo, and a Hidden History of the American West, co-written with David Wolman, won the 2020 Oregon Book Award and was selected as one of NPR's 100 Best Books of the Year for 2019.
Home base is Portland, Oregon, where I explore the outdoors with my family, play guitar in a band and follow my curiosity to places like Africa, Patagonia and Antarctica.
