I earned my Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the University of Montana in 2004. I have worked as a writer, editor, photographer, website manager, content planner, and communications specialist in the fields of journalism and marketing for over 20 years.
I welcome the opportunity and challenge to work on any given topic. With that said, my passion lies in the natural world, the outdoor life, and preserving what remains wild.
My home is in Livingston, Montana with my wife Jodie and our dogs Lucy, Penny and Roscoe.
