A Word from Mathew Sturtevant

As a writer for GearJunkie, I employ two of my greatest passions — the outdoors and journalism.

I began my career as a journalist by shooting images for The New York Times, Men’s Journal, and various record labels. Adventure writing/video production has been my passion for the last decade

My personal interests include Brapping, Camping, Mountain Biking, Dogs, Music, and more music.
