I’m Arthur McMahon, an avid outdoor explorer who has conquered thousands of trail miles and countless adventures. I’ve written for established outdoor organizations such as the Pacific Crest Trail Association, Backpackers.com, Territory Supply, and OutdoorGearLab. And I’ve managed content for many outdoor and travel brands like GoPro and Japan Airlines. 

Growing up in New Jersey’s urban sprawl underneath the long-reaching shadow of New York City I had not so much as dreamed of becoming a bearded adventure seeker until my family moved to Oregon. I earned my BS in Advertising from the School of Journalism at the University of Oregon, and then took off with my soon-to-be wife on a tour of America. We relocated to Boston, then spent a few years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and at the end of it all we made our way back home to Oregon.

But not before thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Yeah, we walked home, and then some. That 2,650 mile trek from Mexico to Canada sparked a passion for the outdoors that burns within me to this day. I published a well-received book about my experience.

Since that thru-hike I have spent vacations, weekends, and any chance I can get journeying into the unknown to find new stories to tell. Though the beautiful wildernesses and cities of the world are full of wonders to behold, I have found that it is the people who make the experiences and destinations worth sharing.

It’s these people I meet on my adventures who I love to write about, to write to, to write for.

My storytelling blends personas, experiences, and technical details to construct cohesive, comprehensive narratives. Marketing copy packs a passion-fueled punch. Exahstive analysis and testing fuel my research-driven content and product reviews, the boring details never make it to the printed page — only the facts that matter. 

I want your readers to get excited about your message, your destinations, and your products. Let’s start a discussion and work on something great together.
