Ian Neligh

Ian Neligh is an award-winning journalist and author of Spurred West and Gold! Madness, Murder and Mayhem in the Colorado Rockies. As a journalist Neligh has flown airplanes, ridden horses and dog sleds, run with burros, dressed up as a mascot, reenacted Civil War battles, climbed mountains, investigated corruption, interviewed mayors, senators, governors and film directors - but generally not at the same time. Neligh helped create the Denver Post’s first podcast program and was featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered” for his work. He has mingled with ghost hunters, broken national news stories and photographed U.S. Presidents. He developed his passion for storytelling at the family dinner table while growing up in Colorado, where he learned that a good story must be captivating and, if possible, hilarious.
