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.
