History of Gear Junkie
Gear Junkie was founded in 2002 as a newspaper column by Stephen
Regenold, a Minneapolis-based journalist. The weekly column, which
brings in-depth outdoors product reviews to a national consumer
audience, is syndicated via a network of newspapers, magazines, and
web sites to reach millions of readers each week.
About Stephen Regenold
As a world-traveling adventurer and journalist, Regenold has climbed,
skied, biked and raced from the jungles of interior Belize to fjords
in Norway, including mountaineering expeditions, marathons, the
Ironman, and an ultra-endurance race that stretched 400 miles across a
desert. From 2005 to 2008, Regenold traveled, reported, wrote and
published more than 50 stories in the New York Times. He lives in
Minneapolis, Minn., with his wife, Tara, three young children, and a
90-pound Weimaraner named Rodney.
