The author lives with his dear wife in a creaky
old house on the coast of Maine. He worked for thirty-five years as
a psychotherapist specializing in family therapy and
wilderness-based therapy. Before that he planted hundreds of
thousands of trees in the industrial forest of the Pacific
Northwest. During those years he lived off the grid, built log
cabins, learned how to lay stone, and survived numerous exploits of
mountaineering, rock climbing, and backcountry skiing. He is the
author of: The Gorge of Despair (2018), a mountaineering auto-fiction, Mirror
of Beasts (2013), a pscyho-ecological investigation of
encounters with wild animals, and the award-winning science fiction
novel, Rhizome (2021). A fantasy novel, The Kraken
Imaginary, has just been published by Montag Press
(2022).
