Poetry major, long walker, parallel parking prodigy. I've written cover stories, features, essays and squibs for Outside, Men's Journal, The New York Times Magazine, The New Republic, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, GQ, Rolling Stone, Details, Grantland and other seemingly solvent publications. I'm also Writer-at-Large at Atlanta Magazine, where my story "Final Exit" won the 2011 CRMA for Reporting. I live in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, with my pitbullish mutt, Miles. Seeking great stories.
