Active Mind, Creative Spirit
I am a flexible, creative storyteller. Non-profit organization, businesses and individuals use my work as a writer, editor, marketing consultant, and publisher. I have helped people realize their dream of publishing books. I’ve run operations and content of a daily publication, Seattle Backpackers Magazine, as Editor in Chief and Director of Content. I have written two full length books about environmental and cultural projects in Nepal. I’ve ghost written articles and books. I’ve curated a collective of photographers who seek to tell everyday stories of life in their developing country, and have written for travel outlets and outdoor publications.
I have edited, ghost-written and/or published books including these:
One World Lens – Author: Erika Klimecky
Song of Chomolungma – Author: Erika Klimecky
The Poetry of Karen Waring Sykes – Collected by Robert Morthost
AC Sherpa- Autobiography
Marketing writing pieces have included:
Gear reviews for footwear, backpacks, outerwear and luggage,
