Right, Down + Circle
ECW PRESS, fall 2023
Combining skateboarding history and memoir, Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skate culture—and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness—to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
Laser Quit Smoking Massage
NEWEST PRESS, spring 2024
A collection of creative nonfiction essays that focus on a variety of unique subcultures and their shared search for home.
TELEVISION
Post Radical – Vice
I worked as a writer and researcher on the acclaimed documentary series, which explores obscure skateboarding subcultures from around the world.
My jobs included writing the voice of the narrator and finding the subjects we showcased — from a Taekwondo/skateboarding instructor in Ethiopia to a group of intensely passionate individuals who turned a small Bavarian village into the world hub of fingerboarding.
