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 closer to nature and a 20+ year career in technology.

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

You’ll find personal experiences from an outdoor-informed lifestyle, lessons learned along the way, and grounded perspectives on navigating everyday life and technology with intention.

What you’ll find here

Places, stories, perspectives.

Living My Dream

What it's really like to live the life I always wanted, here in Steamboat Springs. The good days, the tradeoffs, and the lessons I didn't see coming.

Outside for Perspective

Places I keep returning to and the adventures that clear my head. Honest outdoor information, grounded in places I have actually been.

Technology Without Losing Ourselves

Twenty years of working in technology taught me to ask what deserves our attention. Thoughtful conversations about using it well, and knowing when to put it down.

The Seasons Letters

A letter each season, from me to you.

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
