Updated List of Published Work

Some of my first writings. Europe, 2004

Over the years this blog has been updated in a less than frequent manner. I can chalk this up to the trials and tribulations of trying to raise two same-aged children almost entirely on my own. Those who say "the struggle is real" haven't tried to raise twins while at the same time maintain their professional viability.

That said, I wanted to update this blog with a list of published writings I've achieved over the years. It's not a complete list but one that will give an adequate look at the kind of work I do.

Over the years I have been published in a variety of print and online publications. Here is a list of them.


Visit Tillamook Coast:
I am a contributing and consistent blogger for the Visit Tillamook Coast destination marketing organization. In addition to blog postings I have also helped shape their North Coast Food Trail program with up-to-date postings on area businesses that cater to the tourism industry. In addition I have recently finished a guidebook with VTC called "25 Family Adventures on Oregon's Tillamook Coast."

Guidebook: "25 Family Adventures on Oregon's Tillamook Coast"

The North Coast Citizen:
These are just a few snapshot stories as I did a wide variety of work for both the NCC and the parent newspaper The Headlight Herald as an editor/reporter. While there I did original journalism pieces, column editorials and special publications, as well as designed and layout for the entire newspaper.
Oregon Coast Today: 
I have written a few individual stories for Oregon Coast Today as well as have been featured as a cover-story author.



EO Media Group:
I have been hired as an ongoing contractor for EO Media Group to work with One Boat Media in order to help create a comprehensive website for Oregon tourism called OregonThisWeek.com. I write business and activity write-ups and SEO style pieces for that site.


Oregon Coast Magazine: 
I had a cover feature-story in the August 2016 edition of Oregon Coast Magazine titled "8 Adventures on The Tillamook Coast."

Cattail Flour: When I first heard one could actually eat cattail it was while browsing through a US Army survival manual I have that stands at roughly a bajillion pages thick. Regardless it goes over what kinds of unconventional plants a human may ingest in a number of different environmental types. I remember reading the section on Cattail and thinking that might be fun to do. Everyone, I give you the process to refine flour using a fine local plant; the Cattail. First I went out for collection, I’m sure there’s better ways to do it but my novice regard made it seem fairly straight forward, I found a place where Cattails are, pulled off the side of the road and voila I started pulling my first Cattail. On my first mission out I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be looking for so I naturally grabbed the biggest healthiest looking one I could find. It stood well over my head at around eight to nine feet high. It had long frond leaves that hung down, a giant grass. I

TILLAMOOK: 2116

Let me impose something upon you. What will Tillamook look like in 2116?  A hundred years used to sound like a forever chunk of time to me, what separated the modern world from the old, but as I grow older every day I realize now that a century is but a small component in the great human experience.   In 2116 much of the usable pasture land will have been long reclaimed by a rising and everly acidic sea.  Salt marsh and estuary will take the place of field and pasture flooding centuries of local livelihood.  What industry still remains is but a shadow of itself but a hundred years prior.  Tillamook’s namesake, its precious dairy industry consolidated.  Market and societal forces push the need for dairy products from a federally subsidized necessity to cut-rate industry; only the wealthy survive.  Over time the smaller farms were bought out, crowded and pushed into oblivion.  The only survivors were the automators, the ones who held back those market forces by augmenting la

Fire Behavior: The Spring Creek Incident

Fire Behavior: The Spring Creek Incident Objects in the mirror are closer then they appear. It was getting on four in the afternoon and almost time to think about our return trip back to the compound after a day of forest patrol and campfire enforcement.  Doug had taken his time to instruct me in the proper usage of our belt weather kit, a relic from days without batteries but a reliable device. Doug was from another generation of fire hounds, he’d started his government career enlisted on a PT boat out of Laos and Vietnam and had “given them hell,” or so he recanted to me time and time again. Doug, a repetitive gnome from times past, deemed a plethora of knowledge to me in my first year on a wildland fire engine. I watched him as he dipped the business end of the thermometer into the water and began to spin the instrument on the string provided. It would end up giving us the wet and dry bulb temperatures within the area, with that we could figure out the relative humidity an
