The world’s leading business communications brand has enlisted outdoor industry veteran, Chris Dorsey, as a contributor for all things hunting, fishing, conservation, recreational real estate, travel and premium gear. Forbes magazine has nearly one million subscribers and its digital platform averages 115 million unique visitors monthly, making it among the world’s largest business communications brands. As a Forbes contributor, Dorsey covers a wide variety of topics imperative to the outdoor consumer from wildlife management policies to international travel destinations to reviews of the latest outdoor equipment and clothing.
“It was a natural fit for Forbes to address the massive consumer base of outdoor enthusiasts whose average age and income mirrors the demographics of Forbes’ readers,” said Dorsey. “More than 60 million Americans participate in recreational fishing, hunting, and target shooting every year, contributing over $120 billion to our annual GDP. These outdoor pursuits are not only a part of our national character, they also help drive our national economy.”
Dorsey is among the world’s most widely traveled sportsmen having hunted and fished on five continents and he’s served in board leadership and advisory roles of numerous conservation and sporting advocacy organizations. He’s a member of the Outdoor Legends Hall of Fame and is a recipient of the Ray Scott Trailblazer Award as well as the Curt Gowdy Memorial Award. He’s a biologist, author of 12 books on outdoor subjects, is a past editor-in-chief of Sports Afield and Ducks Unlimited magazines and his work has appeared in most of the outdoor magazines in the English-speaking world as well as National Geographic, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, and the Robb Report.
He’s been called the “brand father” of outdoor television having produced more than 2,000 episodes across 56 series with the largest companies in the outdoors. He’s also hosted nearly 400 episodes of such popular series as Sports Afield on Assignment, Benelli’s American Safari, The World of Beretta, Bird Hunter’s Journal, Ram Outdoorsman and Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey, currently airing on the Outdoor Channel and in syndication coast to coast as well as internationally.
