The award-winning San Diego Sun is downtown San Diego’s hyperlocal source for news, issues and insights that affect the urban core–written by a veteran journalist and longtime city resident.
At last count, more than 37,000 people were living in the 92101 ZIP Code. More than 100,000 folks work in the San Diego urban core. Millions of visitors come for vacations or conventions.
San Diego Sun coverage includes:
- The “Living In The City” series about downtown residents.
- A “Working In The City” series about urban business owners.
- A new series called “Nonprofit Voices” covering the charitable organizations that help supply our social safety net.
- Homelessness, politics and civic issues.
- Tourist attractions, restaurants and nightlife.
- Petco Park, Comic-Con and anything that touches lives in the city.
As a downtown resident, I walk and bike city streets nearly every day.
My resume includes a decade-long stint as executive editor of San Diego Magazine. I also served as the top editor at San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles and alt-weekly San Diego CityBeat.
My byline has appeared in the two dozen national publications and websites, including National Geographic, Men’s Health, Men’s Journal, Maxim, Glamour, huffpost.com and popsugar.com.
Locally, I’ve written for The San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego Business Journal, Ranch & Coast, Pacific San Diego and sandiego.com.
I taught a magazine class at Point Loma Nazarene University. Served as chief content officer for Ballotpedia.org. Was a national runner-up in a Ron Burgundy look-alike contest.
Please keep an eye on The Sun. Consider subscribing to the free newsletter. My stories will be unvarnished, occasionally whimsical and always grounded in journalistic standards.
