If you’re reading this, congratulations! You made it through 2020. Happy new year!
With literally 2020 hindsight, there are so many things we wish could have been different about last year.
In spite of the challenges, though, there were innumerable blessings and accomplishments.
On a personal level, my son, Will, married the love of his life, Colleen Bannon, and the Los Angeles Dodgers finally won the World Series.
From a community standpoint, a large team of us pulled off the merger of the Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria Valley chambers of commerce, creating the new Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce to be a unified and more assertive voice for business.

I’ve been a professional journalist for nearly 40 years, and for the most part I’ve enjoyed every minute. But nothing in all those decades compares to the fun I’ve had these last 13 years with Noozhawk.
In spite of what you may have heard, this is an exciting time to be a journalist, especially in the pioneering age of online local news.
There’s been no roadmap through the wilderness for Noozhawk to follow so we’ve been blazing our own trail since our launch in 2007. We prefer it that way, actually.
From the very start, we’ve been blessed with a tremendous team, and I could not have gotten us this far without the leadership and expertise of my business partners, executive editor Tom Bolton and business development vice president Kim Clark.
