Patch: What do you find special about Patch? 

Calabro: It is a great way for you to connect and stay in touch with whats happening in the local community and issues and topics you care about. Patch is like local news, Facebook and Yelp all rolled into one.

Patch: What are your personal interests? What do you love most about Southern California?

Calabro: I am very into sports. I watch football, basketball and baseball year round and I play beach volleyball, golf and poker. One of the best parts of Southern California is being able to play beach volleyball year round.

Patch: What's the best part about being a Montrose-La Crescenta native? 

Calabro: The people. I know a lot of the business owners and people that I have met though my time growing up here and working both at Oakmont Country Club and Patch. I recently had four requests in a row for additional information for advertising on Patch and I knew all four of them either from high school or family friends. It is amazing for me to see how many people I went to high school with who now have businesses in the local area.
