- Piedmont, CA
I started with Patch as the copy editor for 11 Patch sites: Alameda, Albany, Castro Valley, El Cerrito, Hercules, Newark, Piedmont, Pinole, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Union City. Currently I am the local editor at Piedmont Patch and Alameda Patch. Questions? dixie.jordan@patch.com.
Before coming to Patch, I was the editor and publisher of Parents Press, a magazine for Bay Area parents, for more years than I like to remember. Before that, I was news editor at the Contra Costa Times and a reporter at various Northern California newspapers.
I am a fifth generation Californian who has lived in the East Bay most of my life and a graduate of UC Berkeley. For fun, I volunteer on archaeology digs, mostly in Ireland and the Southwest.
My brilliant and beautiful daughter, Jenny, a school psychologist, just married the charming Chris Davidson and they are living in Austin, Texas — too far way!
