About the author

I’m a writer who contributes to magazines, travel guidebooks, and the occasional website. I’m also a contributing editor at Down East magazine and the author of The Footloose American, forthcoming from Broadway Books in May of 2014.

I like the outdoors, public lands policy, American history, beer, people with interesting jobs, the Grateful Dead, and airport newsstands.

Some of my stories have been recognized in the Best American Essays and Best American Sports Writing anthologies, and I’ve received a Lowell Thomas Award from the Society of American Travel Writers. I grew up in Wisconsin and have lived in Minnesota, Montana, and Oregon. Home is currently a fishing village in Maine.

Oh yeah, and I really did write those gun books, which is kind of a funny story.
