He was one of the journalists who exposed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ hidden stock portfolio in 2018 and real estate portfolio in 2022. He has also written extensively about the culture and practice of tattooing around the globe, but particulalry in the United States and even moreso in his newfound home of San Jose, CA. He has also writen extensively about tattoo history and culture—a lifelong fascination that was previously forbidden by his religious upbringing.

He is currently focused on writing personal essays wrestling with his identity as a post-belief, secular Mormon, his recent neurodivergent diagnosis, and unraveling how both those things inform every facet of his life.

Ethan is driven by a deep belief in speaking truth to power and preserving culture through careful, human-centered storytelling. His work has appeared in VICE, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Salt Lake Tribune, and many other outlets.
