| 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, Cultural Survical Quarterly, Hang Gliding and Paragliding, and South American Explorer, and in the anthologies They Lived to Tell the Tale: True Stories of Modern Adventure from the Legendary Explorers Club, The Best Travel Writing 2008, The Best Travel Writing 2009, and Science Under Siege. | I've recently published The Top Ten Myths About Evolution,a book endorsed by the National Center for Science Education, Anthropology for Dummies, and Wilderness Survival for Dummies. Currently, I'm writing 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, and in Summer 2009 I'll appear in an interview for an as-yet-unnamed program on the History Channel. | 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. |
