Writing lives at the core of how I move through the world and the tool with which I've always explored the inner landscape.  These pieces reflect my lived experience of resilience, empowered living, and the deeper truths that guide both my inner world and outer pursuits.

While much of my creative writing & poetry lives on Substack, what you'll find here is core to my lived philosophy.  It's the hard-earned clarity that arrives when everything else falls away. 

At the bottom of this page, you’ll also find my Principles of Adventure—a handful of foundational insights forged through a lifetime of exploration, and a key part of my philosophical grounding and the tactics I return to when pursuing bold ideas, leading teams, or navigating the unknown

Born in the Mountains.  Built for the Boardroom.

Power position: in the integrity of your organization, pointed at your value proposition

Tactics for noticing when you're playing a different game than the one you though you were (risk management)

  • Stress as adaptive
  • Struggle as the gateway to flow
  • Conflict as fuel for growth

There's always a worst case scenario, but grounding yourself in the most likely worst case scenario and then suspending disbelief is the portal to possibility . . . 

The gift of the mountain is who you become in climbing the mountain.  That's what comes back with you. It’s not about the strategic plan, but rather who the team BECOMES to be the team that’s done it that's the gift that comes home with you, that stays forever.

what are principles of adventure?

Humans evolved in wild places. Our nervous systems, cognition, and instincts were designed for natural environments. But today, we’re asked to thrive in artificial ones, hoping our original design holds.

The Principles of Adventure are my code of translation. A framework for bringing the best of our design into the places it's needed most. Each one is the product of hard-won lessons—shaped by experience, refined in the field, and brought to life through the stories that made it unforgettable for me and alive for others.  And when you join me for an Alaska Immersion, you’ll learn them in your bones as lived wisdom. Alaska becomes the facilitator, not just the backdrop. What you take home is yours forever.

This isn’t a complete list - it couldn’t be. These are just a few principles I return to often, each one forged in lived experience and useful far beyond the backcountry. Whether I’m building teams, skiing volcanoes, or chasing a dream that feels slightly insane, these are the tools that ground me, orient me, and keep me moving toward what matters most.


From the summit of Denali to remote landing strips across Alaska, from mountain bike ventures to ski descents pursued with the earnestness of a holy grail, these principles were forged through exploration, devotion, and chasing dreams.

They’ve carried me through triumph, despair, and everything in between. The wilderness has always been my teacher. Over time, I realized what I was learning out there was shaping who I was becoming everywhere else—in business, in leadership, and in life.

 (but don't let me stop you from designing it in!)
