Biography

Tim Wenger is a culture-focused journalist and author based in Colorado. He serves as a senior editor at Matador Network, where he's filed work from four continents, often looking at the intersection of outdoor recreation, conservation, and the green economy. His feature on #vanlife on the Navajo Nation won Silver in "Lifestyle, Personality and Profiles" at the 2020 NATJA Excellence in Travel Journalism Awards. After completing a BA in Communications from Fort Lewis College, Tim jumped into the back of a Ford Econoline and spent a few years playing guitar in dark bars while falling in love with adventure travel. He's been unable to rest his pen (or his feet) ever since. His book, So, You Have A Band, is the definitive guide for amateur musicians.
