Thanks for visiting my site, and welcome to the eclectic world of this author, freelance journalist, multiple media storyteller, international private investigator, editor, and journalism trainer. Please stay awhile and poke around.

MY BACKGROUND

For most of my career, I worked as a magazine journalist, including a 13-year career at Newsweek as a Washington correspondent and a roving Rocky Mountain special correspondent. In the past decade, I branched out: as a science editor for the 2014 U.S. National Climate Assessment; as a producer of two video series that show how climate change is already affecting the lives and livelihoods of Americans around the country; as a journalism teacher, adjunct university professor, and even as a private investigator turning up new leads on a 25-year old unsolved murder in Australia that ultimately led to an arrest and conviction and a four-part Hulu documentary entitled, “Never Let Him Go.” (Watch trailer here.) Life has rarely been dull.

I’ve also written two non-fiction books and contributed to four anthologies. I am currently at work on a novel. I was the co-founder of The Story Group, an independent, multimedia journalism company formed in 2009 and which we operated for more than a decade. Please visit the site for examples of some of our work, only some of which I include here. I am also an author and journalist with 30 years of magazine writing experience, including my Newsweek stint and as a freelance contributor to more than 60 periodicals, newspapers and online news organizations.

Over the course of my career, I have written for National Geographic, Smithsonian, Rolling Stone, Harpers, PARADE, Outside, Men’s Journal, Men’s Health, Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post Magazine, Audubon, National Wildlife, Self, Women Outside, Condé Nast Sports for Women, Lears, Working Woman, USA Today, Parenting, the Denver Post, Wilderness, Backpacker, Sierra, Snow, Powder, Skiing, Ski, Hooked on the Outdoors, High Country News, Travel-Holiday, Blue, Defenders, Sports Afield, The Nature Conservancy, EcoTraveler, Stanford Magazine, the Times of London, The Weekend Australian Magazine, Newsweek Japan, Diversions, Private Clubs, Salon.com, ABCNews.com, The Huffington Post, ScientificAmerican.com, The Daily Climate, The Bear Essential, East Bay Express, Mountain Gazette, The San Francisco Examiner, The San Francisco Chronicle, and the Sonora Union Democrat. I’ve been a commentator or guest on Larry King Live, CBS This Morning, Today, 60 Minutes, Cochran and Grace, the O’Reilly Report, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, and other broadcast shows. I was a producer of a French documentary for Arte on the Colorado River, and associate producer on Jon Benet’s America, a documentary about the media farce surrounding the murder of a 6-year-old girl, commissioned by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom and which also aired on the U.S. channel A&E.

This site offers an opportunity for me to introduce visitors to my books, share my magazine work, post some radio pieces, display photographs from around the planet, offer my teaching and public speaking services, and occasionally write essays and blogs about events and observations without having to go through the brain damage of getting an assignment or contract. Feel free to visit The Story Group as well.
