Welcome to Local Fiend!

I am a native Arizonan. I grew up in Mesa, where I ate too much LJ’s Pizza and grew to love awesome Mom and Pops in the Phoenix Metro area. I write about cool people and places around town and the importance of supporting them.

I live in downtown Phoenix now, but I write about the whole valley. Myers-Briggs says I am an ENFJ. I love salsa (the food and the music), e.e.cummings, and finding cool new places.

I hope you’ll stay a while and tell me about your favorite little spots in and around Phoenix.
