On the boardwalk in Agats, Papua, Indonesia. (Photo courtesy of Nathanial Havholm)I am a freelance journalist based in Brooklyn and a Correspondent for Outside Magazine. Recent stories have taken me from the highest summit in the Americas to the Navy SEALs obstacle course to hosting a Travel Channel show in Papua, Indonesia. I've spent the past three summers in the remote Bristol Bay region of Alaska, working as a commercial salmon fisherman and reporting on the Pebble Mine story. I'm an avowed generalist, and I'm always for hire. Generally. Unless i'm off reporting a story.
