About

I’m a storyteller who has been writing, editing, and testing gear with Bicycling, Runner’s World, and Popular Mechanics since 2014. I was nominated for an American Magazine Award in 2017 for my work on the information-packed feature “How Cycling Works.” I have a depth of experience in both sports—I’ve split the last two decades between racing on foot, with distances ranging from 800m to 26.2 miles, and on all kinds of bikes, including road, mountain, and cyclocross. I also have a breadth of experience in various departments of magazine publishing. In my time at these magazines, I’ve served as online editor, focusing on SEO, audience identification, and daily production; online gear editor, where I planned and scheduled tests, edited copy, and wrangled new testers; and features editor, where I sought out new stories, assigned and edited them, and shepherded them through the magazine process.
