Born in OC: The Artists, Entrepreneurs, and Visionaries of Orange County, California
For over a decade, I’ve been captivated by the idea of this book, which goes beyond profiling well-known locals in Orange County. It focuses on individuals who contribute significantly to the region’s culture and beyond, showcasing a diverse range of stories. Orange County isn’t just a location; it’s a hub of creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation—from surf culture to tech giants. Despite stereotypes perpetuated by reality TV, this book highlights the real essence of OC through figures like Steve Van Doren of Vans, Megan Klink of Susan G. Komen, and Anton Segerstrom, whose family’s legacy spans agriculture to the arts. It’s not just about names but narratives, featuring perspectives and careers accompanied by original portraits that capture their essence. Because to me, a place is defined by its people, and Orange County is rich with individuals whose stories deserve recognition.
