I'm an independent journalist dedicated to reporting for the public good. My work spans more than 50 countries, over 65 publications, and half a dozen languages. 

I spent two years as a correspondent for the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, where I covered everything from the rise of West Nile disease to the political antics of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. 

Since then, my focus has become more global. With an emphasis on conflict, politics, and climate, I've reported on a controversial effort to vaccinate Congo's wild gorillas against Ebola; military occupation in Palestine; the Jeffrey Epstein files; the wildlife black market in the Amazon rainforest; how an evangelical appetite for biblical artifacts fueled ISIS' looting boom; the colonial origins of Congo's dinosaur myth; the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria; AI usage by the U.S. military; a war-torn village where locals speak the language of Jesus Christ; and the world's highest Buddhist monastery located in Tibet, to name just a few. 

My work has appeared in National Geographic, The New York Times, POLITICO, Foreign Policy Magazine, VICE, WIRED Magazine, and New Lines Magazine, among many others. 

In addition to my journalism, I'm enrolled in the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver.
