Recently I was covering the San Benito/Rio Hondo beat for the Star, but I am now the features writer. You can google my full name or check out www.valleystar.com to see what I'm up to there. Lots of my work has been picked up by the rest of the Freedom Newspaper chain across the country and the Associated Press as well as by other news organizations, such as MSMBC, etc.
