Founded by Santa Barbara natives John Dvorak and Blake Dorfman, the company embraces the new technologies that are rapidly changing the face of the media industry, and uses them to provide the city with an unparalleled source for local sports news. Coverage areas include high school and college sports as well as the array of recreational athletics that abound in Santa Barbara.

John graduated from Cate School in 1998, where he played basketball and soccer. He received his degree in print journalism from New York University in 2002, with a minor in Latin American studies. After college, he spent two years in Vail, Colorado before moving to the Hawaiian island of Kauai for two more years. At the age of 26, John returned to Santa Barbara and took a job as a page designer and writer for the Santa Barbara News-Press sports department, where he worked until July of 2008.

Blake is a 2002 alumnus of Laguna Blanca School, where he played volleyball and basketball before moving on to the University of Southern California. There he wrote for the sports and opinion pages of The Daily Trojan, while also working nights on the Los Angeles Times prep sports desk and appearing regularly on AM 1540’s The Petros Papadakis Show.

He received his bachelor’s degree in communication in 2006 with an emphasis in media studies, and accepted a job as a sports reporter for the Santa Barbara News-Press shortly thereafter. While at the News-Press, he covered local athletes at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and also had a radio program, “Sports Live in the 805,” on AM 1290 KZSB from October 2007 until leaving the company in August of 2008.
