He has written for over 25 magazine titles, and authored or ghost-written several hardcover books on the subject. He has also appeared on-camera on television hunting shows. Walsh is also an accomplished big-game hunter. ==Biography== Born Abraham Edward Deffenbaugh to Joseph Deffenbaugh, a carpenter and sometime fishing guide, and Anne Walsh Deffenbaugh, a restauranteur, Walsh was raised in Portland, Oregon. He has one sister, Jubilee Deffenbaugh Vigna, born in Portland in 1975. After graduating from the University of Oregon with a degree in Political Science, Walsh accepted an Assistant Editor position with Petersen's Hunting Magazine in Los Angeles, California. He was chiefly responsible for writing feature articles, as well as editing freelance author-submitted manuscripts for inclusion in the magazine. At the time, Petersen's Hunting Magazine was widely considered the premiere hunting-exclusive enthusiast publication with an average monthly circulation of 400,000 paid subscribers. Walsh was promoted to Senior Editor in 1996 and became a frequent contributor to other Petersen titles including Guns & Ammo and Petersen's Bowhunting magazine. In 1997, Walsh was hired by Remington Arms Company to lead the PR department. He was often the voice of the firearms industry in a time of heated debate over gun violence, school shootings and subsequent legislative efforts to limit firearm ownership. He debated Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio's ''All Things Considered'' on the issue of firearms ownership in 1998. During his tenure, Walsh launched ''Remington Country'' magazine and ''Remington Country Television''. Walsh left Remington in 1998 to launch a magazine consulting career and launched ''Cabela's Outfitter Journal'' and ''Mossy Oak Hunting the Country Magazine''. Walsh was then hired by the National Rifle Association Publication division as Group Publisher, overseeing the production of their five member-only monthly titles: ''American Rifleman, American Hunter, America's First Freedom, Shooting Sports USA,'' and ''NRA InSights''. In 2001, Walsh launched ''Shooting Illustrated'' and ''Women's Outlook'' magazines, as well as American Hunter and American Rifleman television programs. Walsh left the National Rifle Association in 2003 to pursue a career as a financial advisor, and is currently a full-time advisor with Edward Jones Investments in Winchester, Virginia. He still writes in a freelance capacity for the NRA publications, as well as the Boone and Crockett Club's ''Fair Chase'' publication. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abe Walsh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
