Lee Klancher's career encompasses more than thirty years of
publishing great stories. As an editor and publisher, he has
overseen the development of some of the most-respected and
best-selling books in the transportation niche. A prolific author
and photographer, Lee has contributed words and images to more than
thirty books as well as dozens of national magazines including
Men's Journal, Draft, and Motorcyclist.
A book junkie and an obsessive student of his craft, Lee has also
taught writing and photography at the Minneapolis College of Art
and Design. He is best known for his award-winning books and
calendars covering farm tractors, including Red Tractors and Red
4WD Tractors. He has rented an abandoned air force base to create a
book cover, and built a custom 20x40-foot studio to photograph 30
of the most valuable John Deeres in private hands. He and his
camera have climbed the Julian Alps, explored breweries on four
continents, and ridden backcountry motorcycle routes in the
Bolivian Amazon, the Australian Outback, and on the island of
Hokkaido, Japan.
When not working on a book or a photo shoot, Lee busies himself
biking, reading, and enjoying good food and craft beer. Lee lives
in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Joan, as well as their dog, Red.
