Peter Madsen is a journalist and project manager based in Oregon. He’s also a Midwestern New Yorker — now that’s an industriously hip combination. His writing currently appears in Bend Magazine and 1859 Magazine. His bylines have appeared in the New York Times and Thrasher. As a staffer, he wrote 300 feature stories for the Bend Bulletin, many of which have been syndicated throughout the country, between 2016 and 2019. He authored Dealers, a collection of interviews with New York City drug dealers, for powerHouse Books in 2013. Madsen loves writing about the outdoors, subcultures, fitness, business/nonprofits, and sometimes himself — but rarely in the stilted third person.
