About This Site
I began my journalism career as a summer intern at the Contra Costa Times in Walnut Creek, California, in 1978. During next decade, I also worked as a staff writer, editor and columnist for the Sacramento Bee and Monterey County Herald.
Since 1987, I have been a full-time independent writer and columnist for many newspapers, magazines, news services and web sites. I have traveled to more than 20 countries on sports, travel and leisure assignments. I am co-author with Phil Liggett of the 2005 book Tour de France For Dummies as well as a webmaster, syndicated columnist, media consultant and frequent radio and television guest commentator.
This site features many archived examples of my articles as well as new articles and The Weekly Driver, my syndicated car review column. My car reviews are featured on this site as well as on TheWeeklyDriver.com and several other web sites. I also own and manage the web sites GolfTribune.com and MontereyPeninsula.org.
This site is interactive. You can forward an article to a friend or alert internet social communities about an article you've just read. Web site publishers can also publish my content via RSS feeds or contact me for reprint licensing or advertising opportunities. Comments are always welcomed.
Cheers, James Raia
