	Michael Hoffman, YourHub.com general manager mhoffman@venturacountystar.com Michael Hoffman started in journalism in 1979 when he wrote and produced a monthly newsletter during his work and travels in Europe. He came to Ventura County in 1985 to work at the Thousand Oaks News Chronicle, which evolved into a section of the Ventura County Star. His community involvement has included service on Rotary clubs in Simi Valley, Oxnard and Thousand Oaks, and board memberships on the Simi Valley Education Foundation and the marketing committee for the Ventura County Community Foundation. Hoffman and his wife, Joanna Miller, the full-time journalism professor at Moorpark College, live in Simi Valley with their two sons.
	Rebecca Whitnall, editor RWhitnall@venturacountystar.com I've lived in Ventura County most of my life, with short stints in Jamaica when I was young and the Bay area for school and work after college. Though I love the circus that is Berkeley, San Francisco and even Burning Man, I'm a So Cal girl at heart and am happy to be back. For the past three years, Before jumping onto the Hub, I worked with the Star's community news team and have written stories about schools, places to explore and fun people in the county. Now it's your turn. I'm excited to read YOUR stories in YOUR words.

	Julie Littman, community reporter jlittman@venturacountystar.com Julie Littman graduated from UC Irvine’s literary journalism program June 2006 and joined the YourHub.com staff February 2007. Julie wears multiple YourHub hats. She edits Camarillo’s YourHub.com, writes stories for YourHub, and designs pages for the print edition. When she’s not working on YourHub.com, she’s reading or buying books. She has a growing collection of books and realizes that she has a book addiction. She recently began a 12-page program to curb her book habit. So far, her progress has been slow and filled with paper cuts. Besides reading, she enjoys writing fiction and would like to write books including a mystery series. She also has a mild obsession with anything related to Hawaii and would like to live there someday. But for now, she enjoys living in Ventura County and looks forward to reading what people post on YourHub.com.
	Miguel Morales, community reporter mmorales@venturacountystar.com As a journalist, I believe that great events happen on a daily basis. As an active community member and concerned citizen in Ventura County, Your Hub has provided me with an outlet for my thoughts and news. And I hope all of you will use the opportunity, too. As I monitor your stories, I hope to be reading about all those great events that occur in your life and the lives of others you encounter.
