My adventures climbing big mountains, scuba diving flooded cave
systems and kayaking spectacular rivers around the world have been
chronicled in such magazines as National Geographic Adventure,
Men’s Journal, Men’s Fitness, , Esquire and literally hundreds of
other publications. I’ve written 21 books; my Over The Edge: A
Regular Guy’s Odyssey In Extreme Sports (released May, 2000, in
paperback by Wilderness Press), prompted the Wall Street Journal to
ask…”How did Michael Bane become the George Plimpton from
hell?”
I’ve been involved with guns and shooting literally my entire life. Most recently, I conceived and still manage the five-year-old NSSF Media Education Program, which has had a profound effect on the relationship between the firearms industry and the media. It also bought together the perhaps greatest group of firearms instructors of all stripes ever. That “critical mass” of instructors has been redefining handgun instruction, and I’m proud to have had a small part in that. I was part of the 3-person team who handled national media during the Maryland sniper crisis, which as emerged as a textbook example for the industry in dealing with flashfires. I’ve also handled crisis stuff for IPSC and USPSA. we’re currently working directly with major companies on setting up their own media events and training their people to deal with media crises.
