Alex Haro is the editor of The Inertia, an online surf and outdoor magazine. He made the transition to writer and later editor after spending years forest fire fighting and being an arborist. Originally form Vancouver Island, he took an internship with Surfer magazine which meant living in his Van in California for four months. He later built a cabin on his aunts property which burnt down just as he was nearly done building it in a massive California wildfire. Now he's back on Vancouver Island working for the Inertia from home nearly ten years after his writing career began.
