Hey! I’m Aaron.

I’m a freelance writer + marketer, climbing and eating 🍩s around the world.

You could say I’m adventurish. Mostly, I’m pretty ordinary.

Day to day, I write about lesser known climbing areas and people with interesting stories, occasional travel tales, love and heartbreak, poetry (see preceding), and I create content for brands.

I’ve written for Climbing Magazine, Rock and Ice, ESPN, Field Mag, Mountain Life, and SAPIENS, created content for La Sportiva and WAYWARD Collective, and most recently I was the Chief Editor at 57hours. There are also a few side projects here and there.

…

This wasn’t always the case, I used to be the head of sales for startups. That life wasn’t quite right…

Alas, a major theme of the past few years has been to explore what “living well” means to me.

This led to teaching entrepreneurship in Ghana, pursuing simplicity on a farm, and culminated in taking that trip.

At this point, to live well is to live interestingly. (Caveat: Sure, I know there’s a lot more to life).

Why? Well, one, it’s more fun this way. Two, I believe pursuing interesting teaches you about yourself. Your interesting is the outward extension of your inner drives, an indicator of what makes you tick. It’s a simple heuristic that forces you to look inward to see what truly fans your flames.

In the end, I’m pretty ordinary: Just a guy pursuing these combustibles with a bit more oomph these days.

Welcome. Feel free to reach out, and I hope you enjoy the tales!
