Writing

I write about places people pass through without stopping, and what you find if you do.

Whether it’s a small town in New Mexico or somewhere farther away, I write about what’s actually there instead of what I expected to find. I’m also a conservation biologist, so I tend to nerd out on wildlife, nature, and conservation along the way.

Most of this work lives on New Mexico Travel Guy, where I’m currently on a questionable mission to visit every town in New Mexico and write a story about each one, with plans to wrap it up sometime before my early to mid-100s.
