Writing career
A former newspaper reporter, and editor at Sports Afield and Men’s Journal, he has written for such publications as Men’s Journal, National Geographic Adventure, The New York Times, Outside, Best Life, Parents, and Popular Science. His latest project is the book on sustainability, Greasy Rider: Two dudes, one fry-oil-powered car, and a cross-country search for a greener future. The book recounts his cross-country trip in a diesel Mercedes station wagon powered by waste vegetable oil, and investigates the keys to a greener future that are already at-hand. The book inspired filmmakers J. J. Beck and Joey Carey to create a documentary of the same title. It was released in 2009 and featured Yoko Ono, Morgan Freeman, Rae Dawn Chong, and Noam Chomsky.
