New Hampshire’s trails and natural beauty fuel my blogging and photography at Granite State Walker. I especially love sharing experiences from my state’s network of rail trails.
I’m a veteran of 30 years of pro-life advocacy and reporting from the New Hampshire State House. An archive of my related posts from 2012 through 2024 is at Leaven for the Loaf. In my book Pro-Life Journeys, I share stories of people I met in the course of my public policy work, who in a variety of ways affirm the value of each human life.
As a speaker and podcast guest, I enjoy conversations that illuminate and inspire. In addition to podcast and radio work, I’ve spoken at conferences, classes, and rallies on topics including:
- Catholic civic engagement and life-issue public policy
- Effective communication for citizen activists
- Recreation on New Hampshire’s trails
