SFGATE: Giants legend Buster Posey buys renowned hunting ground in Mendocino County

Hello folks-

I bring big news in my life as a writer in the form of the link above. SFGATE is, in my humble opinion, the most current news publisher the traditional market has to offer.

Last summer, the SFGATE editorial team asked me to apply as a North Coast editor covering the life and times of Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity and rural Northern California.

After several interviews, I am very happy to announce that I got the job. The story linked above is my first publication on SFGATE and I'm proud that it focuses on the county I've covered for the past five years. Try it! And Mendo friends, if you spot Buster Posey around town, be sure to give him a wave—we've got a giant among us now.

I would also like to thank my family, friends and readers for your unwavering support over the last five years. I couldn't have made it here without you.

MendoFever won't go anywhere. While SFGATE will seek stories with a broader, regional focus, Mendocino still needs its hyperlocal coverage, and MendoFever will continue to deliver.

As always, reach out to us if you know a story that needs to be told. Stay strong.
