I was born and raised in the city of Newark … not exactly a frontier town. No one in my family was a hunter, so I started out on my own, through the world of outdoor magazines. If someone told me back then that I would ultimately end up as editor-in-chief of Outdoor Life, I would have said they were totally nuts.
