DENVER – Landon Hall has been appointed the Editor in Chief of the Florida Sportsman brand, "Your Outdoors Authority Since 1969," and the premier sports brand for anglers, hunters and boaters in the Sunshine State, as announced by Michael Cassidy, Group Publisher at Outdoor Sportsman Group. Hall has been a freelance outdoor writer, photographer and content creator for a variety of regional and national outdoor lifestyle media outlets, and he specializes in saltwater fishing, hunting and coastal living. He has been a regular Contributing Editor to Florida Sportsman magazine.
A lifelong outdoorsman who has fished and hunted since childhood, Hall founded Outdoor Legacy Media where he has focused on telling stories that connect anglers, hunters, guides and conservation-minded outdoors enthusiasts with the traditions that make the sporting lifestyle unique. Hall enjoys all aspects of the outdoors, but he's especially fond of snapper fishing and pursuing the rich variety of fish species found in offshore waters, and he also enjoys hunting for big game. Hall is particularly adept at constructing in-depth destination, species specific, how-to and gear-related content, which should serve him well as he oversees creation of all content for the respected brand.
"Landon brings incredible enthusiasm and a wealth of experience and leadership to the Florida Sportsman brand," said Cassidy, "and his expertise and passion for regional storytelling makes him ideally suited to serve the dedicated and incredibly active audience of a brand that is nearing its 60th anniversary."
Hall's new responsibilities include overseeing all aspects of Florida Sportsman's print and digital editorial properties. He is based out of St. Augustine, Florida, where he lives with his wife, Nicole, and son Jackson.
"My goal always has been to preserve the heritage of the outdoors while inspiring the next generation of sportsmen," said Hall, "to build a legacy one story at a time. I'm honored to be assuming this role at this exciting time for Florida Sportsman," Hall continued, "and while I certainly have big shoes to fill, I look forward to building this brand's legacy of editorial excellence and environmental advocacy begun by Founder Karl Wickstrom and team."
