My goal is to help Orange County residents understand and navigate the big changes taking place here — cultural, political, and in our built and natural environment. I also want to help people build connections with their OC neighbors.
I know that I can’t cover everything. So I’m hoping you’ll help me prioritize my coverage by letting me know what’s going on in your community and what you wish you knew more about. Also welcome: recommendations for good eats, craft beer, hikes and hidden beaches. I live in Huntington Beach and love exploring.
