My credentials for writing about SCV are legion. I was born in Henry Mayo in 1984. I attended Valencia Valley Elementary, La Mesa Junior High, and Valencia High School. I can remember a time when the Summit was the place to live. When not in SCV, I go through SCV withdrawal. And I go to Newhall for more than just the DMV. SCV is full of haters, but me, I Heart SCV.

Those words were written on July 4, 2007, when I started the original blog. After blogging and recapping Santa Clarita for a decade, I took a break, but now I am back. You can also find me live-tweeting City Council meetings and writing for a local magazine—the good one. I even cover indigenous flora. Though it gets harder to do so with each passing day, I can’t help but to keep hearting SCV.
