After Fire on the Beach, I began working on non-fiction essays. I published "Crazy White Boy" in the Missouri Review in 2008. Since then I have had some luck placing memoir and outdoors-related essays in Gray's Sporting Journal, The Flyfish Journal, Fish Alaska, Ninth Letter, The Sun and others. In 2015, I won the acclaimed Jeffery E. Smith editor's award from The Missouri Review. Fish Like You Mean It is my new collection of fishing and hunting essays plucked from the national outdoor press. You can buy it here.

The outdoor magazines and journals continue to support my work. This year alone I published several times in Gray's. The Flyfish Journal has supported my. I just landed an essay in The Alaska Sporting Journal and Wyoming Wildlife. And, this summer I won Second Place in Conservation Writing in a contest supported by the Pew Charitable Trust. The Sun is publishing a new essay in July 2019. If it wasn't for these handfuls of editors who buy my work, I'd wouldn't be able to travel and live the life I live.
