I’m an American writer, musician, songwriter, and business owner. I grew up in Claremont, California and am now based in Heidelberg, Germany.
I’m a former VICE staff writer and have written for publications like Slate, Outside Magazine, Pacific Standard, ESPN, and many others. I’ve reported from ten countries, covering politics, sports, technology, and science. My work was twice shortlisted for the Best American Sports Writing Anthology.
In 2023, I founded WestWord Communications, a marketing company that helps European businesses with marketing strategies centered on international communications, including branding and slogan development, growth marketing, and English-language content strategies.
I am also a longtime guitarist, singer, and songwriter. In addition to writing, playing, and recording my own music, I often write lyrics for other musicians. I play guitar in Heidelberg’s Manuel Ria Project.
