I started Here & There in 2020 as a way to bring together stories from travel, the outdoors, and the industries that shape them. Before launching the newsletter, I spent years working in product and design (which is still my day job), with side projects in photography and writing, always drawn to the intersection of creativity and exploration.
In 2023, Mike Rogge, editor of Mountain Gazette reached out about joining the team. For two years, Here & There was an in-house newsletter for the mag, keeping the Mountain Gazette community company between the twice-yearly print magazines. In late 2025, I spun back out of Mountain Gazette to scratch that indie writer/photographer/media itch. I'm tremendously grateful to the opportunity and exposure that being part of Mountain Gazette afforded me.
Over the years I helped build apps in the outdoor space, traveled across the US and abroad, climbed a lot of mountains, hiked a lot of trails, and taken a lot of photos, collaborating with a few DMOs and outdoor brands along the way. These days you're likely to find me trail running, skiing, mountain biking or just seeking out the new wild places to explore.
Currently based in London, I use Here & There to share thoughtful writing about the culture of travel and the outdoors, with a mix of personal experience, tech and business insights, industry perspectives, and plain curiosity. It’s for people who love being outside, who want to understand the forces shaping travel and outdoor culture today, and who appreciate honest, nuanced, well-told stories.
