is a long-time outdoor writer and editor. He grew up surfing on the Oregon coast when wetsuits were stiff and boards were thin. A jack of all trades and master of none, he did serious stints as a climber and stand-up paddler before moving to the Rocky Mountains and obsessing over mountain biking, trail running, and snowboarding. His work has appeared in 国产吃瓜黑料, Men鈥檚 Journal, ESPN, and many more. He was formerly the gear director for 国产吃瓜黑料.
