I write about adventure and environmental issues.
I reported from Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and during a four month sojourn in South America in the wake of the 2002 financial collapse in Argentina.
​
I covered the contentious Marine Life Protection Act, which set new conservation rules for the California Coast.
​
I've profiled IMAX pioneer Greg MacGillivray, VR innovator DJ Roller, and dam removal proponent Matt Stoecker.
​
I was Online Editor for One World One Ocean, winner of Best Ocean Initiative of 2012 by Tree Hugger, a Webby for News and Politics Story, and Best Digital Campaign at the 2012 Blue Ocean Film Festival, the Oscars of the ocean world.
​
I won this photojournalism award in 2010, and while I no longer shoot for a living, I still love the feeling of taking a good photo.
​
I co-founded Dealerslink, a software company that reduces transportation waste in the automotive industry. I sold web-based software to people who began the conversation with, "I don't trust the internet." Dealerslink is now the largest dealer trading platform in the nation.
​
I like being outside and facing challenges. In pursuit of stories I've attended heli-ski guide school in -20F conditions in Alaska, and jetski rescue training at night in a storm that closed Morro Bay Harbor. I love climbing mountains and I've surfed my whole life. And yes I've gone over the falls on a set wave at Pipeline.
