Thank You To Michelle

 

I’m reaching out to let you know about the wonderful experience I had with your periodicals, especially the person that I dealt with directly. Michelle assisted me in making a plan for my ads, helped get a wonderful ad designed and gave me step by step instructions on how payment and circulation would go. Although I asked a TON of questions, Michelle was quick to respond and tirelessly followed up as I got my ducks in a row and decided what the best fit for my business would be. If I had an employee as exceptional as Michelle, I would hope to hear about it - which is why I’m reaching out. My gratitude for her assistance is tremendous and I’m very thankful that she was the person that helped me figure out this process.

 Kindest Regards,

Welcome Zev Black

 

Welcome to Zev Black.  Zev has joined our Arizona team as a reporter.

His Immediate Family are Michael, Aviva, and Elza Black.

Zev grew up in Oakland, California, and moved to Arizona for college He has been here ever since, and I’m excited to now call the Phoenix area home.

Before joining Independent Newsmedia, I spent four seasons working with the San Francisco Giants as a Hawk-Eye Operator. I helped manage live replay and player tracking during games. It gave me a front-row seat to the sport I love most.

I’m a big sports fan, especially baseball, but I also love spending time outside. Whether it's hiking, swimming, skiing, or just exploring new places, I’m always up for something active.
