ABOUT

Here’s some more about me: I’m a writer and photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin. You’ve maybe seen my work in publications like National Geographic, Smithsonian, AFAR, Midwest Living, Travel + Leisure, TripAdvisor, American Park Network, Thrillist, USAToday, and others. I focus on the environment, science, travel, and helping others see the world as weird and wonderful, beautiful and worth exploring. (Though I occasionally like to wax poetic about wine and cheese.) I also can occasionally be found behind the camera, especially if I’m outdoors.

Prior to all this, I was Matador Network’s lead branded content editor for nearly a decade, working with DMOs and brands like Toyota, Lufthansa, and Visit Britain. I’ve worked with hundreds of writers across hundreds (thousands?) of campaigns, and I write, photograph, and use my skills at graphic design when the need arises. Somewhere in between all this, you’ll find me watching national park documentaries and hiking Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail.

I’m a number of things that you might be too: a Midwesterner, an avid Scrabble player and defender of the Oxford comma, a lover of cheesecakes, a proud cat owner, and a paleogeography junkie. You’re probably not that last one, but you should be. If you met me, I could convince you.

All photos are my own, as is this site design. If you’d like to team up in any way, shape, or form, please feel free to reach out via this page.
