Longform

I lived in Tokyo for six years. In 2004, Outside magazine gave me the opportunity to return for an article about Japan's potential (since over-fulfilled) as a destination for outdoor adventure and tourism.

As wearables gained in popularity, Outside Magazine gave me the opportunity to do a deep dive into behavioral science and feedback—and how fitness trackers can both support and derail attempts at personal improvement.

As tech startups raced to confront the dangers of climate change, I assigned and edited this feature about the scientific and economic challenges that were hampering the clean tech industry.

I was fit, but was I healthy? I didn't know. So I spent two months each on six different diets—a full year—to see how changing my nutrition changed my body. It was eye opening, to say the least.

If you've used an Apple product, ridden a mountain bike, skied, surfed, or interacted with any number of tech devices, there's a good chance you've experienced the design influence of Thomas Meyerhoffer, whom I got to profile for Outside Magazine.

I was lucky enough to combine my interest in particle physics and my love of outdoor adventure in one of the most fascinating stories I ever assigned and edited.

Really fun profile I got to write about a former golf prodigy who spent years as a living-in-his-van snowboard bum then returned to golf and became a winner on the PGA Tour.

A fascinating and tragic true-crime story I pitched, assigned, and edited while at Outside magazine.

This 2016 profile about American cyclist Taylor Phinney's comeback from a horrific crash is still one of my favorite things I've ever written.
