Steven Rinella

1994 MCC graduate Steven Rinella, a well-known author, travel writer and outdoor television host, credits MCC instructors for teaching him to explore his writing passion. Steven grew up in Twin Lake, Michigan, graduated from Reeths-Puffer schools, and went on to Muskegon Community College, where through the advice of his English 101 instructor, began to write about his passion and what he knew well - which was hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors. After college, Steven moved west to Montana to focus on his chosen career as an outdoor and adventure-travel writer. He has written numerous stories for many of the nation's top publications, including the New York Times, Outside, Men's Journal, O the Oprah Magazine, Glamour, the New Yorker, Field and Stream, Petersen's Hunting, and American Hunter. What's next on his agenda? A new TV show, starting January 2012 on the Sportman's Channel, called MeatEater (2012).
