Services

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

SPEAKING EVENTS

I enjoy teaching students and communities about adventure writing, the outdoor and adventures travel industries, as well as narratives I’ve learned through my work. My presentations range from classroom sessions to public events or outdoor meet-ups. I’ve presented for Western Colorado University, Colorado State University, Utah State University, Women Outside Adventure Forum, Life’s 2 Short Fitness, Colorado Governor’s Tourism Conference, and the Outdoor Media Summit. 

COPYWRITING, BLOGS, & SPONSORED CONTENT

My copywriting work can be found internally and on the websites of VF Corporation and Mountain Hardwear. I’ve contributed blogs and articles to brands and tourism bureaus including UCO Gear, American Adventure Expeditions, Eagle Creek, Ski.com, Pawsitive Connection Dog Training, and the Alamosa Convention and Visitors Bureau. I’ve also written sponsored content, which is labeled, for Gear Junkie, Backpacker Magazine, and SNEWS.

PHOTOGRAPHY

My photography is featured online and in print for various publications including Adventure.Travel, Adventure Pro Magazine, GearJunkie, Backpacker Magazine, The Discoverer, Elevation Outdoors Magazine, and 5280 Magazine. 

SOCIAL MEDIA

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

GHOSTWRITING & BIOGRAPHIES

Ghostwriting is a collaborative way to offer my writing and editing skills anonymously or under various ascriptions. My work includes co-written pieces for Sarah Herron’s blog. I’ve also helped folks write biographies like one for Dylan H. Brown. 

FILM 

I assist film production teams through research, storyline development, interviews, and narration. To point, 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. That works includes 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 production. I co-developed the proprietary Comprehensive Sustainability Score (CSS) for AllGear Digital, 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 Editorial Director 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 – 2026.
