3 pages., via online journal., As a long-time writer of silly, nonsensical blogs and books and the owner of a Himalayan trekking company, I’m often asked the same question from people who are clearly confused about what I do: “What makes a great communicator?” I’m faced with this question so often that I’ve decided to impart some of the overflowing wisdom that people seem to think I have on the topic and compile my Top Five Secrets to Achieving Great Communication, which will then render the title improper because they will no longer, by definition, be secrets.

Online from publisher. 2 pages., Advice to young journalists. "As a professional, you have to be better than only an instagram post writer. You must consciously and intentionally develop your skills of conversation. Sit down with your granny and ask her about her life as a young girl. Find out what your papaw was really thinking and feeling as he stepped onto some faraway battlefield as a terrified kid. And when you interview that farmer or lineman or craftsperson for your Co-op's publication, find out why they do what they do, not just what they do."
