I'm a professional writer, explorer and archaeologist based in the blustery Pacific Northwest. My popular-science and travel writing has appeared in many magazines, including Scientific American MIND, Playboy, Archaeology, Spaceflight and South American Explorer, as well as in the anthologies They Lived to Tell the Tale: True Stories of Modern Adventure from the Legendary Explorers Club and The Best Travel Writing 2008.

I've recently published The Top Ten Myths About Evolution,a book endorsed by the National Center for Science Education, and I'm currently writing Anthropology for Dummies as well as The Frost Giants, a wild narrative of my Iceland expedtions.

My archaeological, sailing, and ice cap expeditions have been televised on National Geographic Television, the Outdoor Life Network and Oregon Public Broadcasting.

My doctorate is in Archaeology (Simon Fraser University 2004), and I teach at Portland State University as an Adjunct Associate Professor. My research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Field Archaeology, the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Terrae Incognitae, and books published by International Monographs in Prehistory and British Archaeological Reports. My academic curriculum vitae is here.
