I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida and then moved to Colorado. I love to travel and recreate in the outdoors: hiking, rock climbing, biking, skiing, and stand-up paddleboarding. I have a degree in English and journalism and have written for numerous newspapers and magazines, and hold several outdoor certifications including Wilderness First Responder. I've written about everything from sculpture art to ultrarunning. I also take photos. My photography spans the world. Please visit my writing and photography portfolios to see what I'm all about. I am currently freelancing and accepting new projects and assignments.
