I'm a freelance writer, gear editor, and amateur adventurer.

Since 2014, I have been a Senior Writer at Earbuddy.net where I produced album reviews that range from scathing to silly. I also wrote concert reviews (as well as produced photography) and short features.

Beginning in June 2015, I penned a continuous column with LAVA Magazine following the U.S. Olympic process leading up to Rio 2016.

Since then, I've become the executive editor at Triathlete magazine. At Triathlete, I've focused on gear coverage and leading our new membership charge.

Before becoming a professional triathlete in 2007, I ran cross country and track at Penn State University where I also earned a B.A. in journalism with a minor in statistics.

As a former member of the U.S. National Triathlon Team, I have traveled all over the globe, getting into— and out of—more trouble than I care to remember.

It's in this trouble where the best stories happen.
