Mike Clingan has joined the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) Board of Directors.
“I am honored to be nominated to the Board,” said Clingan. “I am looking forward to helping POMA be the premier association that the outdoor industry looks to and trusts for making connections with media professionals.”
Clingan will fill the chair of outgoing director Kevin Paulson. Paulson stepped down to take the Executive Director position with the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW). POMA would like to express our most sincere gratitude to him for his service and leadership.
Clingan has made a living in the outdoors space since 2018 as a photographer and more recently has added writing to his resume. He has an eye for perfection and does not settle for anything less, which is evident in his photography. Having cover photos for Wildfowl, GunDog and Game & Fish magazines, he has also had images published in Backcountry Journal, Bugle, Ducks Unlimited, Hook & Barrel, North American Elk and Turkey Call, Clingan’s work is well known and diverse. He’s currently working with Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks on several digital/print campaigns and specializes in capturing creative assets for brands in the outdoors industry.
Clingan lives the outdoors lifestyle in Montana, where he captures most of his images. Waterfowl, turkey, elk, mule deer and antelope are some of his favorite pursuits. He spends the rest of his time with his wife Alicia and their rockstar retriever Crosby and the feral cat that came with their home that Clingan has miraculously domesticated and is affectionately known as Miss Kitty.
