As Sunset Magazine’s editor-at-large, Peter gets to write and edit stories about the world’s most interesting place: the American West. He edits Sunset’s back page feature, The West's New Essentials, and his own writing has taken him to Yellowstone National Park>, the California Gold Country, and Alaska. Fish grew up in Utah and in Southern California. He received his B.A. from Yale University, where his studies focused on the history of the American West, and received his M.A. in English from Stanford University, where he was a Mirrielees Fellow in Creative Writing. He lives in San Francisco with his wife, Nancy, and their son, Joseph.
A San Francisco native, Mac tried out New York City after graduating from Stanford, but came running home after confirming that life on Broadway isn’t as glamorous as life in the Wild West. When she’s not on the road, you might see her jogging across the Golden Gate Bridge at the crack of dawn, reading a Dickens novel at a pub, chilling in Mill Valley, or scouring San Francisco for cheap eats. Her adventures at Sunset have taken her to a wild mustang ranch in Shasta, the swank shores of Malibu, and the top of Pikes Peak.
After spending all but one year of her life on the east coast (excluding two summers in Bozeman, Montana) special projects editor Anna Nordberg moved to San Francisco with her husband in 2008. As a fresh-minted west coaster, she’s still getting used to the changes (for one, no one honks here), but loves the extended heirloom tomato season, incredible hiking just across the Golden Gate, and houses that rent for the same amount as postage-stamp apartments in New York City. After graduating from Yale University, where she played on the squash team and majored in English, Anna spent the next seven years working at Sports Illustrated for Women, In Style, and Cookie before joining Sunset.
Raised in Ogden, Utah, Lisa headed east to Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, then west to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she’s been a travel writer and editor ever since. In addition to contributing regularly to Sunset, she‘s written for San Francisco magazine, Cookie , and Budget Travel. Lisa is a sucker for a new adventure, but for 10 days every August, without fail, you’ll find her in June Lake, California, skipping stones with her husband, Scott, and two small towheads, Stella and Theo.
Known around the office as the one who rides her bike 30 miles from her home on the San Francisco peninsula, travel editor Amy Wolf loves to start her day outside, watching the fog snake over the hills above Half Moon Bay or a coyote crossing a trail. Access to unlimited outdoor adventures in every direction is among the reasons she hightailed it back from New York City, where she edited Fodor’s travel guides and researched at Travel Holiday. Though she works just a couple of miles from her alma mater, Stanford University, Amy—along with her outdoor-loving husband and two young explorers—still never tires of uncovering the hidden gems outside her front door.
