He spent more than 20 years in the newspaper business as a reporter, editor and columnist before transitioning to magazines when he joined Sports Car Market where he was their executive editor from 2010 to 2020. Chester is also a veteran freelance writer/photographer, with published stories in many outdoor magazines and websites. He is the author of several books on fly fishing and outdoor travel.
