I’m a skier, runner, climber, writer, and tutu enthusiast. I love wearing bright colors to ski uphill in the pursuit of skiing every month of the year. I’m passionate about helping other people connect to the natural world, and I like to share helpful (albeit sarcastic) words to help you live an active life. 

Smiling so much that your face hurts. Those are the moments I live for.

I've been sharing stories here since 2005, and in 2013 I landed a dream job as a marketing and communications director at a Seattle-based nonprofit. Today I (mostly) write for a living. I also offer freelance support for folks looking for help with social media, copywriting, and communications strategy. You can find my work on Adventure Journal, Kindering, Osprey, and The Mountaineers.
