I am excited to start as Patch's permanent Tri-Valley editor and dig deep into the communities of Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore. I previously worked as a field editor for Agoura Hills, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Malibu, and Northridge-Chatsworth. I took a brief detour to report for the Beverly Hills Courier, then rejoined Patch as a roving editor and California general assignment editor. Before then I was the Associate Editor of the Jewish Journal, a biweekly paper covering the Jewish community north of Boston. I grew up in Marblehead, Massachusetts, a small, seaside town north of Boston, and graduated from Bard College in New York, and then got my masters in teaching from New York University. I'm excited to get to know the Tri-Valley. Feel free to send any story ideas to michael.wittner@patch.com.
