I'm very excited to report that we’ve hired Tom Mangan as assistant editor of Trailspace. You may recognize Tom’s name from a series of cottage gear maker profiles he wrote for Trailspace earlier this year. Tom is also the author and publisher of the popular hiking blog Two-Heel Drive, a 20-plus-year journalism veteran, and an avid hiker and backpacker (that’s him above on North Carolina’s Stone Mountain).

As assistant editor he’s in charge of Trailspace’s online gear catalog database and will write and edit outdoor gear guides, comparisons, and reviews (hey, that sounds like a good gig!). Welcome on board, Tom!
