Copy editor PAULA APFELBACH thinks simplicity is pretty sweet and hopes you’re all able to cultivate and enjoy plenty of it this winter. Exhale…

Writer and editor MYLES DANNHAUSEN JR. has been searching out stories for Door County Living since 2005. He wishes he had the fortitude to commute by bike like Nate Bell and Carl Morrison, two of the subjects of our winter feature.

JESS FARLEY and DAVID NIELSEN live happily in Jacksonport with their three dogs and teenage boy. They love to cook together, feeding their friends and family.

GRACE JOHNSON explores her love of literature in this issue by interviewing debut novelist and Sturgeon Bay High School graduate Jill Stukenberg. Whichever chair creative director ANDREW KLEIDON sits in for the Peninsula Pulse, he’s always having a blast. When he’s not in the office, he’s hanging with his wife; their Yorkie; their son, Oliver; and their daughter, Lily.

When BRETT KOSMIDER isn’t wandering off into the wilds, he usually has a camera in front of his face taking photographs or video. He’s a cofounder and the creative director of Peninsula Filmworks.

Peninsula Pulse photographer and videographer RACHEL LUKAS is getting more familiar with the county with every shoot.

CHARLOTTE LUKES writes to fulfill the mission of her late husband, Roy, to educate and inspire readers to learn, care for and protect our native species and the natural world. JOHN MIELKE; his wife, Patti; and their poodle, Riley, have been full-time Door County residents for two years. He retired from UW-Parkside and is still trying to figure out the game of golf and how to make the perfect homemade pizza.

SAM WATSON is a reporter for the Peninsula Pulse. The 2022 UW-Madison graduate now lives in Sister Bay with her partner and two cats, Desmond and Penny. When she’s not writing, she likes to cook and watch horror movies.

The late PATTY WILLIAMSON, Ph.D., was a longtime contributor to the Peninsula Pulse and Door County Living. This issue features her story on the rum runners of Door County – one of her final assignments.
