Tom Dickson has been editor of Montana Outdoors since 2002. Before then he worked for 14 years as a communications manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He is also co-author of a fishing and natural history book, Fishing for Buffalo, is the author of The Great Minnesota Fish Book (both by University of Minnesota Press), and has written for National Wildlife, Fly Fisherman, Sporting Classics, and other publications.
An avid hunter, angler, hiker, and bird watcher, Tom is an "amateur all-arounder" when it comes to outdoors activities: "There's so much to do outside that I've never been able to focus on one thing and get good at it," he says. "Maybe someday." He lives in Helena with his wife and two wire-haired pointing griffons.
