Services

In addition to my editorial work, I offer copywriting, content creation, and education to outdoor industry brands and individuals to help share their authentic stories in credible, creative ways.

COPYWRITING, BLOGS, & SPONSORED CONTENT

My copywriting work can be found internally and on the websites of VF Corporation and Mountain Hardwear, and I’ve contributed a range of blogs and articles to brand’s websites such UCO Gear, American Adventure Expeditions, Eagle Creek, Ski.com, Pawsitive Connection Dog Training, and the Alamosa Convention and Visitors Bureau .

I’ve also written occasional sponsored content, which is labeled, for Gear Junkie,  Backpacker Magazine, and SNEWS.

PHOTOGRAPHY

My photography is featured online and in print, typically alongside my writing, for publications from Adventure.Travel and Adventure Pro Magazine to Backpacker Magazine, The Discoverer, Elevation Outdoors Magazine, and 5280 Magazine. 

SOCIAL MEDIA

I produce social media campaigns for outdoor adventure brands such as Visit Pueblo, Kootenay Rockies Tourism, Powder Highway, Leadville Race Series, and Black Rapid.

GHOSTWRITING

Ghostwriting is an adaptive way to collaborate and offer my writing and editing skills anonymously or under various ascriptions. Recent work includes co-written pieces on Sarah Herron’s blog. 

I’ve also helped folks write their bios like one for Dylan H. Brown. 

SPEAKING 

I enjoy teaching students and communities about this exciting career path of adventure writing and the outdoor and travel industries as well as the stories I’ve learned through my work. My presentations range from classroom sessions to public events or outdoor meet-ups, which I’ve shared with Western Colorado University, Colorado State University, Utah State University, Women Outside Adventure Forum, Life’s 2 Short Fitness, and the Colorado Governor’s Tourism Conference. 

FILM

I assist film production teams through research, storyline development, interviews, narration, and screen roles. Recently, I helped produce a trail running short for the Gunnison-Crested Butte Tourism Association. 

 

TALENT

I help outdoor industry brands, companies, and photographers capture assets, stills and film, in addition to producing and capturing compelling imagery for editorial work, such as the marketing video and photos for new products launched by CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures, Hustle Bike Labs, and Specialized Bicycle Components. 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

I manage a range of projects for publications from desktop publishing to content syndication, and editorial calendars. I am also proud to have helped co-develop the launch of the proprietary Comprehensive Sustainability Score (CSS) for AllGear, a first-of-its-kind metric to help consumers understand the big-picture environmental impact of manufactured products and to incentivize companies to push the sustainability needle forward. Read more about the initiative in this news piece on GearJunkie, authored by Sean McCoy–who spearheaded the idea–and where we premiered CSS in The Best Down Jackets of 2021-2022 gear guide. 

CONSULATION

I support individuals who are eager to grow their writing passion into a hobby or career. I offer consultation, mentorship, and tutoring for all ages of writers, as well as guidance for creatives who need help with their business plan. 

RETREATS

Coming soon – 2024.
