Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. Here’s a little bit about me.

  1. I’ve written three books—all of which have been shortlisted for, or won, a Banff Mountain Festival book award. I was also shortlisted in 2024 for Banff’s Best Article award. My work has appeared in numerous domestic and international publications in the outdoor industry, and conservation spaces. You can see a small sample of my work here.

  2. If you would like to purchase a copy of Dammed If You Don’t, winner of the 2021 Banff Mountain Fiction Award, shoot me an email. The book costs $25 + $5 shipping. If you can’t afford that, email me anyway, and we can discuss flexible pricing.

  3. I love the Cochamó Valley in Chilean Patagonia. Since 2011, I have spent countless hours working to protect it. If you, too, are trying to protect Cochamó, I encourage you to learn about and donate money to either Friends of Cochamó (which I head up as ED), or Conserva Puchegüín (which is raising money to purchase and permanently protect this special part of the world).

  4. Since 2007, I have earned a living as an author, ghostwriter, editor, copywriter, keynote speaker, et cetera. If you are here because you want help with a writing project, shoot me an email, and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for visiting, and have a wonderful day.
