A Word From Sam Anderson

I’ve always loved writing, thanks to my dad, who always has and still does write for a living. It just so happens I’m also a rock climber. After a decade of dirtbagging, it made sense to put my writing degree and background to use.

My personal interests include: what’s behind the veil, other humans, long and rambling conversations, baseball, road biking, Mezcal, citrus, animal consciousness, and insects (especially tarantulas).
