AUTHOR | SCIENTIST | GUIDE

In river-guiding parlance, reading water means understanding the behavior of rough or smooth waters. It’s also the name of my first solo-authored book.

As a long-time river guide and fluvial (stream) geologist, I know water. As a writer, I love to apply my knowledge of currents to the written word.

For centuries, poets and writers have drawn connections among rivers, water, and wild+human nature. My bimonthly insights, delivered to subscribers via newsletter, continues that literary tradition.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers in this life. I just have a watery background and am here to share it with other creative souls.

Let’s write, swap knowledge, and ride life’s waves and troughs together, co-creating beauty and peace in our wild world.
