About Me and the stuff I write

Page under construction

I plan on divulging all kinds of compromising personal info on this tab in the near future. Just need to run it past the lawyers to make sure nothing I've shared could be considered libelous, lascivious, or deciduous. Stay tuned for some juicy content to come. 

Upcoming Events

Events are going to be on hold for the first couple of months of 2026 while I recover from surgery for prostate cancer. I'm looking forward to talking Trail and meeting readers and hikers when the snow begins to melt. Happy new year, everybody!

Up North at 4 Interview

Uniquely Wisconsin Feature

Uniquely Wisconsin Feature

In July 2025, I visited Rhinelander's WJFW-TV to chat about The Freakin' Destination with Agnes and Jeremy on Up North at 4. While I was disappointed that their adorably lethargic dog Theo was on vacation, it was a thrill finally meeting Agnes in person, after having watched her on TV for a couple of years.

Discover Wisconsin's subseries Uniquely Wisconsin visited Marathon County in July 2025 to showcase Eau Claire Dells County Park. They had me on to discuss the Ice Age Trail both in the park and in general (beginning at 2:55 in the video), and also chatted with my friend, geologist Lisa Siewert. Really spectacular videography by the DW crew!
