I am an author and journalist with more than two decades’ experience writing and publishing at the highest levels.  My book, Real Mosquitoes Don’t Eat Meat, was published by W.W. Norton’s Countryman Press.  I’ve published  longform nonfiction articles and essays in The New York Times Magazine, The NY Times Book Review, GQ, Wired, National Geographic, Yoga Journal, Outside, Travel + Leisure, Men’s Journal, and more. I began my career as an editor at Outside magazine where I edited and coached some of America’s finest writers. As a senior editor, I conceived, assigned, and edited “Into Thin Air,” the longform article by Jon Krakauer that was expanded into the book of the same title.  I left the magazine in 1997 to work for multiple magazines as a freelance/contract writer. I traveled the world on assignment to write about adventure, politics, the environment, culture, and sport. I served as contributing editor for Outside, National Geographic Adventure, and George magazine.  Today, I’m passionate about writing about religion and spirituality, yoga, travel, wellness, and personal growth.  My articles have been anthologized in The Best American Travel Writing series, Outside 25: The Best of Outside Magazine’s First 25 Years, and Traveller’s Tales.

I am a yoga teacher in Boulder, Colorado. I teach vinyasa and power yoga at CorePower Yoga. I also teach yoga to individuals and corporate clients. I began practicing yoga in 1993 when Nirvana, the band, still played concerts.  My focus is vinyasa, but I’ve studied in the Iyengar and Ashtanga traditions, too.  I’ve learned from many gifted yoga teachers and sages in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Boulder, Colorado, and India.  I’m passionate about yoga–the practices and philosophies, not merely the physical postures–and I try to live my life and run my coaching business according to yogic principles. I travel often to India to further explore yoga’s roots and lessons.  I believe yoga has helped me live a kinder, more authentic life in service to others.

I am an experienced, talented book writing coach.  I help thought leaders, positive-changemakers, and wellness professionals write and publish the books that change the world. I am fueled by my passion for storytelling and turning clients’ big ideas into engaging prose that inspires readers to act, grow, and change.  I came to this work as a book writing coach after two decades of working at the highest levels of publishing. I spent seven years working as a magazine editor. As senior editor for Outside, I worked directly with some of America’s finest nonfiction writers, such as John Krakauer, Chip Brown, and Ian Frazier. Later, I worked as a freelance writer publishing hundreds of articles in  Outside, The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times Book Review, National Geographic, GQ, Wired, Yoga Journal, Men’s Journal, Travel + Leisure, Outside, and other publications.  As a freelance book editor, I’ve edited the work of NY Times Bestselling authors.  A part-time yoga teacher and world traveler, I bring a deep understanding of mindfulness to my coaching clients.  I am an evangelist for a self-compassionate approach to writing and creativity. When our lives are in balance, our true creative selves can emerge and thrive.
