I’m a writer from Colorado. My work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Harper’s, Oxford American and elsewhere.
My stories have been cited for awards by Columbia Journalism School, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and others, and I’ve appeared on The Daily, BBC and NBC Nightly News. I’ve reported widely throughout the US, Latin America and Africa, and written about skateboarding, violent thunderstorms, cinematography, corporate private security and other subjects.
I’m currently working on a book for Random House about track and field, 1970s West Texas and a group of young athletes from East Africa who changed the sports world.
