THE MENSWEAR COPYWRITER
I’m a men’s lifestyle journalist and menswear copywriter. I was the former Style & Gear Editor at BroBible, and the former Senior Gear & Commerce Editor at Men’s Health.
I grew up in Peculiar, Missouri. Then, spent my college years in Florida before heading off to Nashville for my first salaried writing job. Finally, I made my way to NYC and fulfilled my dreams of being a journalist in the Big Apple.
Right now, I’m in my Western era—slinging copy at Huckberry in Austin, Texas.
LIVE A LITTLE is a passion project and vessel for me to document all of the brands, stories, and adventures I have my eyes set on. We all have our 9-5 job versions of ourselves. This is my 5-9 self—committed to making this newsletter a reflection of my authentic self.
WHY BECOME A PAID SUBSCRIBER?

In every issue of my free weekly FIELD JOURNAL issue, I’ll double-back and post the data collected from each issue. That means you’ll get to see what LIVE A LITTLE subscribers are loving the most, and what stories they are reading first.

Your subscription allows me to keep up the cadence of the free newsletter, and it supports everything I’m building in the future with LIVE A LITTLE.
ONE MORE NOTE ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS…
I’m running LIVE A LITTLE as subscriber-ran ONLY. That means I will continuing to run my newsletter completely free of affiliate links and outside methods of outside influence on the content on my writing.
Subscriptions mean I answer only to YOU—no advertisers, brands, or PR firms.
WHY LIVE A LITTLE
I was introduced to style from men of adventure: Bourdain, Hemingway, McQueen, Redford, JFK Jr. Men who lived life to their fullest, being their most authentic self.
Every time I studied them, they always reminded me to reject perfectionism and find ways to live a little bit more each day.
LIVE A LITTLE is for the authentic, adventure-seeking man.
The OUTFITS they wear.
The INROADS they travel.
And the LIVE A LITTLE moments they always remember to capture and savor.
If this speaks to you, give me a follow and join me on this lifelong journey.
Like a psychotic (but wise) writer once said, “Buy the ticket, take the ride.”
