I’m a freelance food, beverage, outdoors and travel writer and editor based in Salt Lake City. For over a decade, sharing the best of the Intermountain West’s cultural, gastronomic and natural wonders for a passel of print and online platforms has brought me a helluva lot of joy. My stories featuring Utah’s bar and restaurant scene have won multiple journalism awards, and I’ve been honored to serve as a bartending and culinary judge at the local and national level. I love a good em dash and really miss the Oxford comma.

Core beliefs: People who love what they do make the most delicious food and drinks, everything’s more fun with dogs at your side and in the restorative powers of potent après ski beverages.
