"Excellent editor and writer for the Ojai Quarterly and Monthly. Each issue includes an insightful essay written by Bret that addresses the issues that are important to the world and how they relate to Ojai. His magazines also highlight a cross section of the people, places and issues that make Ojai unique in the Valley where it blossoms. "
