Healdsburg to Seek Private Entity to Run Villa Chanticleer
City Council vows to preserve American Legion's operation at Annex.

I grew up in Philadelphia, but I moved to the West Coast in 1989 and have been here ever since. I started out in Portland, Oregon, later migrating to Marin County in the San Francisco Bay Area. I lived in the North Bay for about 10 years, where I was a reporter for the Marin Independent Journal.
I left Marin in 2006 and spent time at newspapers in Oregon and Washington state before returning to the North Bay, this time in Sonoma County at Healdsburg Patch. In March 2013, I transferred to the editor post at Napa Valley Patch.
I am passionate about sharing my journalism skills and experience to enhance the lives of people in Napa Valley.
