Oh, hello. I'm delighted you found your way over here. Let me tell you a little about myself.

The climate crisis touches everything, and I’ve had a chance to cover a lot of it over the past 10 years as a climate journalist. My stories have run the gauntlet from extreme weather to politics to justice to technology to—most importantly—solutions. I’ve also managed to squeeze in some pieces on conservation and Flat Earthers because why not. 

I currently work at Protocol as the site’s founding climate editor. My focus is on creating a climate and technology newsletter geared toward industry decision makers as well as ensuring robust coverage of the latest news in the field. I also host our live journalism events ranging from virtual panels to roundtables at Davos, ensuring that Protocol isn’t just covering the most important issues in climate and technology; we’re helping set the agenda.

Previously, I was a founding senior reporter and later managing editor at Earther, Gizmodo’s climate and environmental justice site. I kept our little shipping cruising along with a mix of breaking news coverage and deeply reported investigations, explainers, and features. Prior to that, I spent four years at Climate Central, a journalism and research nonprofit, working as the newsroom’s Ben Zobrist.

I have a BA in photography and anthropology from Hampshire College, and my photographic work regularly appears in my dispatches from the frontlines of the climate crisis. I also hold an MA in Climate and Society from Columbia University and am currently a faculty member.

My writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, Grist, the Daily Kos, Mashable, Quartz, and Yale Climate Connections. I've appeared as an expert on TV and radio with MSNBC, CBC, Sirius XM, Al Jazeera, NPR, SkyNews, Wall Street Journal Live, and numerous podcasts.

The real fun stuff came before this whole journalist covering the fate of the planet thing. In previous lives, I was an educator at the deepest lake in the U.S., a sleigh ride naturalist giving tours through a herd of 7,000 elk, and a ski bum across the western U.S.

Drop me a line.
