Who We Are
Dan Mathers – Publisher/Editor
Dan Mathers is the founder and editor of Northeast Explorer. He is a writer and editor with a long history of working for newspapers, magazines, and marketing companies. But the outdoors have always been his true love. He is an avid hiker, kayaker, and trail runner. Don’t be fooled — he is a TERRIBLE runner. He has the short, stubby legs of a Jack Russell Terrier and the cardio of a three-pack-a-day smoker. But he’s plenty dumb enough to not know when to quit, so he’s completed a few 100-mile races. He’s climbed Northeast peaks from Mount Marcy to Katahdin, has kayaked throughout much of New England, and often sleeps in his beloved minivan (a.k.a. Macho Van).
