Catherine Black
Owner/Publisher
I was born in France and left my country at 17 in search of the "American Dream". I traveled around the world backpacking with my best friend and ended up in San Diego. I fell in love with the city and the American people's positive outlook on life and business. I now have 2 amazing children, a successful magazine, a Super Team and Friends that I adore! Viva La Vie!
Greg Amat
General Manager of Operations
I am a San Diego Native and youngest of 7. I've lived/worked in many places and San Diego is my mother ship! I love to play tennis and play better in my head than in reality. Traveling is my weakness and there aren't too many places left on my wish list!
Todd McCallister
Production Coordinator
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, and have been living in the North Park neighborhood for the past 6 years, where I have worked at restaurants that focused on San Diego's craft beer & slow food movement. I love graphic design and I love to cook.
Helene Cornell
Design Associate/Photographer
I am originally from Canada where I studied photography at University of Victoria, British Columbia. Upon graduating I moved to Los Angeles with nothing but my camera in my hands and stilettos on my feet. In addition to owning my wedding photography company helenecornell.com, I also own bootyboudoir.com, which makes my life full of creativity and empowerment. I have a lot of good dance moves and have appeared on Soul Train several times during my twenties.
Bruce Crum
Graphic Designer
I grew up in the Midwest (Chicago area) and relocated to San Diego in 1984. I met Catherine Black through a mutual friend in 1993, when Catherine was looking for a graphic artist to help her start a little project she had in mind called "The Community Magazine". Fifteen years later that little project has grown beyond my wildest expectations, and continues to grow today, expanding in both territories and distribution. It's been a fun, exciting ride and I look forward to the next 15 years. I currently live in Orange County with my wife and 13-year-old daughter.
Dona Foltz
Graphic Designer
I have lived in Germany, France and now here in San Diego. I am trilingual or zero-lingual... depends on my (fluctuating) lunatic IQ. I love, really love, to eat and bake cakes (because I want to eat them) & exercise (because I want to eat cakes).
I joined the Graphic Department of Community Magazine to avoid eating cakes all day.... and also, admittedly because they are an unusually cool team! Plus, they all like cake!
Frank Bongiorno
Photographer
I was raised in Hampton Bays and made it to San Diego in '89. I spend as much time as I can on the water, enjoying our bays and coastlines from my catamaran. A recognized photographer since high school, I have made it my living for the past ten years.
