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 the lessons learned while chasing my dream to my endless fascination with technology, this is all about living deliberately, staying curious, and deepening our connection with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

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

Living with Intention

Living with intention looks different for each of us. For me, it meant chasing a dream to live in Steamboat Springs. The benefits, the tradeoffs, and the lessons learned along the way.

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
