Terry Frei writes for the Greeley Tribune and Mile High Sports.
On the heels of the critically acclaimed fact-based novel, Olympic Affair: Hitler's Siren and America's Hero, Frei returned to non-fiction for his seventh book, March 1939: Before the Madness.
Frei's earlier non-fiction books are Playing Piano in a Brothel (2010), '77: Denver, the Broncos, and a Coming of Age (2008), Third Down and a War to Go (2007), and Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming (2002).
The Witch's Season (2009), based on what he saw and experienced while growing up as the son of a major college football coach on a cauldron of a campus in a tumultuous time, was his first novel.
Frei also has written three screenplays, done consulting work in the film industry, and taken voluminous mental notes.
He spent his early years in Eugene, Oregon before moving to the Denver area as a high school junior. He has degrees in history and journalism from the University of Colorado-Boulder. He worked at the Rocky Mountain News while in college and joined The Denver Post after graduation.
Between two stints at the Post, he was sports columnist at the Oregonian in Portland and then a pro and college football writer for The Sporting News.
The highlights of his work for the St. Louis-based magazine were major stories, most of them cover pieces, on eventual Hall of Famers Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Richard Dent, Charles Haley, Thurman Thomas, Michael Irvin, and Larry Allen.
Frei also was an ESPN.com hockey columnist on a freelance basis for eight years. He has won numerous journalism awards and has been named a state's sportswriter of the year by the National Sports Media Association seven times. He has extensive experience in radio hosting and television guest appearances. On the newspaper front, he has covered the NBA, NHL, MLB and NFL as a beatwriter and/or columnist; and has attended many World Series, Super Bowls, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Finals, Final Fours, major bowl games, Olympic Games, and major boxing events.
Frei is a frequent speaker at schools and events, including at veterans-oriented functions. He has delivered the John Paul Hammerschmidt Lecture in honor of the World War II pilot and longtime Congressman; spoken at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, the Wisconsin State Historical Society, and Lambeau Field; and was a keynote speaker at the World War II Glider Conference in 2010, when he appeared with many surviving heroes, including Lt. Col. Jim Megellas, the most-decorated officer in the history of the 82nd Airborne. At CU, he has served as vice chairman of the History Department Advisory Board and chair of the Global Studies Resident Academic Program/International Affairs Advisory Board.
