Description: Bio of Mitch Tobin, an award-winning author, multimedia journalist, and FAA-certified drone pilot based in Durango, Colorado.
Hi, I’m Mitch Tobin, a dad, husband, multimedia journalist, and FAA-certified drone pilot based in Colorado. When not at work, I love to ski, snowboard, bike, hike, camp, and otherwise spend time in the great outdoors.
I’m director of the The Water Desk , a new journalism initiative at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for Environmental Journalism that focuses on Western water issues and the Colorado River Basin.
From 1998 to 2006, I covered environmental and other issues for the Napa Valley Register , Tucson Citizen , and Arizona Daily Star. I won awards for my deadline, feature, and explanatory writing, including two first prizes from the Arizona Associated Press Managing Editors for stories on water and border issues.
