It’s pub day!! My first book, Feral, is finally out via Little A Publishing, and I couldn’t be more proud. Big thanks to Chad Luibl at @JanklowNesbit for believing in this one! https://t.co/3VDbe7rQJc

Do I know anyone at SFGATE? They're hiring a national parks editor that I would be perfect for. Would love a more direct line than a loose resume.

Just lost tons of work with no warning from a major gear publication. Editors and brands-- hit me up for your testing and copywriting needs! My winter calendar is a bit more open than usual.🤘

In some parts of the world, monsoons can mean endless rain for months. But in the American Southwest, it’s kind of just been hopping all over the place.

My newest article for @WSJ involved weeks of pulling park statistics to bring you the best (and least crowded) national parks. Huge thanks for the awesome edit on this, @sebmodak ! https://t.co/OV5q0k3VHg

Whether you’re into hiking, camping, birding or biking, there’s a national park for you. To narrow down the options, we systematically crunched the numbers to rank them all, and we bet the top spot...

Stunning hike up Lily Mountain this weekend. Also… I learned that some lakes in Rocky Mountain have leeches. 👀

Spending hours upon hours doing quantitative research as a journalist will really make you hate AI and AI-generated content. The internet feels broken.

It's springtime in Joshua Tree and you know what that means... BABY ANIMALS! 🥰 As always, please enjoy viewing wildlife from a distance. If an animal reacts to your presence and changes their behavior, then you are too close.

Nothing like that first hike of the season in El Dorado to kick things off right!
