Few editors can say they led their magazine to win a National Magazine Award for General Excellence. Even fewer can say they did it in their first year on the job. Anthony Licata is one of those few. A Field & Stream staff member since 1998, Licata was named editor in 2008, becoming just the 15th person to hold the title in the magazine’s 115-year history. After just one year as editor, he helped Field & Stream earn its first-ever National Magazine Award. Along with his work as an editor and writer at Field & Stream, Licata has hosted the brand’s Total Outdoorsman Challenge on the Versus channel, and he recently hosted the Heroes of Conservation Awards Gala at the Ronald Reagan Center in Washington D.C. Coming from a family of outdoorsmen, Licata is a diehard hunter and angler. And though his job has taken him on adventures all over the world, his favorite place to spend time outside is in the hills of Pennsylvania with his family.
