Renowned hunting and fishing writer and editor Skip Knowles has been named Editor-in-Chief at Sporting Classics Magazine.
“I tried to hire Skip a few years back,” says publisher Duncan Grant. “He seemed perfect for this position at Sporting Classics. He’d been at the helm of seven popular magazines in the outdoors and luxury lifestyle niches. He’d hosted both TV shows and video series on outdoor adventures. He was an award-winning writer for a major daily newspaper covering the Olympics, and he’d hunted and fished all over the planet. He seemed exactly the right person to be the ‘face’ of our company. However, at the time, we just couldn’t work it out.”
Skip’s father Frank, an avid sportsman and long-time Sporting Classics subscriber was especially disappointed. “You guys should have figured out a way,” he told Skip. “That’s the best outdoor magazine around today.”
Skip’s father will celebrate his 88th birthday this summer. So, Frank, this announcement is for you!
Skip is ecstatic at the new opportunity to help bring a broad vision to the sophisticated Sporting Classics print and digital readership.
“I’ve long been a fan of this 45-year-old magazine, and there is no team in the industry more passionate about their iconic brand than the folks that work there,” he says. “Joining this crew is a dream come true and I can’t wait to help build on everything they’ve created.”
