His work has garnered critical acclaim from a host of venues, including Kirkus, Booklist, the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Outside, Southern Living, and High Country News. His many awards and honors include the High Plains Book Award, the PEN Northwest Wilderness Writing Residency, and an Oregon Career Literary Fellowship.
