Hello, and welcome to the site. I edit and report on Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel and Dana Point for Patch.com.
I have spent my professional life writing news in suburban communities, mostly in South County. Before joining Patch I worked for the Orange County Register, where I covered San Juan, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo and Laguna Beach. I have also written for the Daily Sparks Tribune.
I studied British literature of the 18th century and will talk your ear off about Samuel Johnson if I am provoked. I also studied journalism.
