In over 20+ years as a backcountry avalanche forecaster at the Utah Avalanche Center and 15 as a Jenny Lake Climbing Ranger in Grand Teton National Park, I've slowly built a collection of content that I plan to publish here in the coming weeks, months, and years.

You'll start to find a library of essays, meditations, videos and podcasts on this page - Life Not After Death, But Before.

Some of these essays have been previously published in Outside magazine, Backcountry magazine, Ascent Backcountry Journal, and The Avalanche Review.

Thanks for stopping in.
