I'm a senior editor at Penguin Random House, writing on calling and craft.

Using our human creativity to remake the world. Researched writing and photos from encounters with my ancestors. Occasional dispatches from Baltimore.

Art, poetry, and creative practices for multi-passionate people looking to reclaim their attention and live thoughtfully in a distracted, extractive world.

A community hub for photography people

Making Baseball History. Every. Day.

A painter and a poet inspired by place, working mostly en plein air ("in the open air") in the Impressionist tradition.

My personal Substack, with every blog post from Go Gonzo Journal, where I write fake news with a spin of Truth, and every podcast from Foul Play-by-play, where we cover Minnesota sports and the cheats, cheap shots, and alleged criminals in sports.

Reports from a field bursting with vitality and new voices.
