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.
Over the past decade, I've cultivated a skill for diving deep into complex topics, with a focus on technology and conservation. I've interviewed countless tech leaders, SMEs and other experts, and I know how to translate technical jargon and PR-speak into engaging copy.

Creative Nonfiction: Coast Guard Rescues to Hawaiian Cowboys
I also write features for outlets like Esquire, Outside and Men’s Journal, and I've written three award-winning nonfiction books for HarperCollins,
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.
