Writing

I have been writing stories about action sports and the outdoors for the past two decades. The foundation for much of my work is often found in snowboarding, but the through-lines are rooted in personal exploration and the overcoming of challenges, the role of gender in sport, and the people, moments, and movements affecting our collective experience. Here is a loosely chronological selection of some of my favorite pieces. (If you’re interested in my copy writing work, that can also be found below.)
