How can we make San Diego a shining example in volunteerism, community stewardship, historical preservation and improving the city for the next generation?
Editor-in-Chief Jack Crittenden discusses how we can make San Diego a shining city, and how to team with self-reliant people who help their neighbors in need and take active steps to preserve their heritage, environment and family.
Crittenden is a fourth-generation San Diegan with grandparents that were very active in the historical preservation of the city. He has a degree in public administration from USC where he specialized in urban planning, and a law degree. He has been an editor for 20 years, and founded OurCity in 2009.
