I specialize in hiking, running, paddling, outdoor adventure and travel in Northwest, New England and Canadian destinations. My background is in American and Canadian History, American Literature and Conservation issues. I'm always looking for new assignments so let's talk and see what you have in mind.
Web Content
I co-created Hikeoftheweek.com with Michael Fagin of Washington Weather Online. In partnership with the Snohomish County Tourism and the Olympic Peninsula Viistor Bureau, Hikeoftheweek.com posts a new Northwest hike each Friday.
I write recreational content detailing Canadian National and Provincial Parks for Canada's Weather Network. My topics range from paddling in Ontario to hiking in British Columbia covering major parks in all ten Canadian Provinces.
I have provided content and photographs for numerus other websites. Contact me on what I can provide for your site.
Tourism Writing
I have written copy for Tourism Bureaus including writing and editing Snohomish County Tourism's Storyline Newsletter and Hiking Snohomish County Booklet. Let's talk on how I can design a pamplet or write copy for your region, chamber, or area.
