Outdoor Informed: Places. Stories. Perspectives. A hiker stands on a rocky ridge above green valleys in the Colorado mountains.

Outdoor Informed

A Life That Chose Me.

I’m Adrian. I share places, stories, and perspectives informed by a lifelong desire to live an active mountain lifestyle, as well as my 20+ year career in technology.

From outdoor adventures and lessons learned chasing my dream to my endless fascination with technology, this is about living deliberately, staying curious, and using technology thoughtfully without losing touch with ourselves, each other, or the world around us.

Join me both on and off the trail, as I explore ways to live well and navigate a fast-changing world.

The Seasons Letters

A letter for each season, from me to you.

Just four times a year, as the season turns, I’ll send you a letter, one photograph from that season, the story behind it, and a perspective I’ve been thinking about. Sometimes more, never filler.

A welcome note now, then a letter each season. The first arrives around December 21. Unsubscribe anytime. I will never sell your address or share it for anyone else’s marketing. Privacy
