Greg Fitzsimmons

Greg grew up surfing and sailing in Santa Cruz, CA. Being from Northern California, Squaw Valley and Kirkwood were (and still are) his mountains of choice in Tahoe. After graduating from college in San Diego, Greg had stints in the publishing world in San Francisco, for Francis Ford Coppola's literary magazine, Zoetrope: All-Story, and New York, studying publishing at Columbia University. He landed in Aspen, first working at Rock and Ice magazine, and later serving as an assistant editor at Aspen Magazine. Currently, Greg skis as much as possible and makes rent as a freelance writer.
