I am a freelance, multimedia journalist with a background in print journalism. I write, shoot digital photos and video for online and print publications and specialize in stories on adventure travel and endurance sports. I report on destinations in conjunction with bicycle tours (mountain biking and road biking), canoe, kayak and whitewater trips and walking, hiking and running expeditions. Mexico, South America and the Western United States, especially California, Montana and Idaho are geographic specialty areas for me. I also consult with businesses to teach them how to effectively use social media - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, blogging, You Tube - to promote themselves. |
