Autorenporträt
Jeff Welsch is the Executive Sports Editor for 406mtsports.com and Lee Montana Newspapers. Welsch¿s passion for all things Montana was born during a family station-wagon vacation in 1975, nurtured on frequent trips to the Big Sky State to cover Boise State basketball and Idaho football for The Idaho Statesman in the 1980s, solidified on regular fly-fishing adventures, and ultimately realized with a move to Bozeman in 2004 to become sports editor at the Daily Chronicle. Welsch has been in sports journalism in the western United States for nearly four decades, aside from a six-year hiatus to work for a conservation organization dedicated to protecting the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. In 2014, the addictive aroma of newsprint and ink lured him back as sports editor of The Billings Gazette, and since August 2016 he has been executive sports editor for the 406mtsports.com website and Lee Montanäs four daily newspapers¿The Gazette, Missoulian, Montana Standard (Butte) and Helena Independent Record. His numerous state, regional, and national reporting awards include first place in the 2006 Associated Press Sports Editors national competition for his burled-arch to burled-arch coverage of one of Montanäs Greats: Ennis musher Jessie Royer in Alaskäs Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Welsch has co-authored five books¿among them Backroads & Byways of Montana, with his wife, Sherry, an endeavor that took them from border to border and heightened their appreciation for their adopted home state. It was the people, places and stories experienced along the way that helped provide the spark for Montana Greats.
