Professionally speaking: I harbor a deep passion for creating compelling content that helps people live happier and healthier lives. Toward that end, I’ve spent the past several years editing and writing for men’s magazines and websites in a variety of capacities. In addition to loads of freelance writing, I’ve worked on staff for Men’s Health, Muscle & Fitness, Maxim and Made Man. These days, I’m the Outdoors & Fitness Editor at that print and online bastion of top-notch product journalism, Gear Patrol.

Personal time: You can tell a lot about a man by his passions, so here are a few things I love: bicycling, motorcycling, snowboarding, soccer, travel, adventure, kettlebell workouts, black coffee, medium-rare burgers, Laphroaig 10 y/o Cask Strength Scotch (neat), The Ramones, Grave Before Shave beard balm, old-school Westerns and, frankly, fighting for what’s right.
