A few years ago I was diagnosed with Testicular cancer. After emerging from that challenge safely, I really took charge of my health, changing my diet, embracing endurance sports, studying the science, and prioritizing a healthy lifestyle. I recently wrote this piece for outstanding whole foods company Muir Energy (I'm an athlete ambassador for them). Check it out!

Every two years I take high school students to the backcountry of Alaska's Glacier Bay as part of an environmental writing class that I teach. I'm excited to have this piece about one of those trips up on the website of one of my favorite companies, Territory Run Company. (Full disclosure: I'm an athlete ambassador for Territory). The piece is all about how time in wild places brings out the best in kids, both in the short term and in the long term. Enjoy!

A few months ago, I had a piece published as part of Terrain.org's "Open Letter to America" series. I couldn't be more proud to have a piece published as part of Terrain, one of the most important platforms for environmental writing in North America.
