Larry Santana

Larry Santana left the grind of daily news reporting for the allure of the camera. He spent three years during college as a sportswriter for the Pocono Record in Pennsylvania before taking his first plane ride (ever) to begin studying at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. He has since earned a Master's degree from Berkeley, where he specialized in long-form television, and plans to use it to continue his discovery of places beyond the tri-state area where he grew up. His thesis work includes reporting on the migration of American expatriates to Mexico, advances in prosthetics for upper limb amputees and Lucha Libre wrestling in the Bay Area. His last stint as a print reporter took him to Southern California, where he worked as a beat writer for MLB.com, covering the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He received his bachelor's degree from East Stroudsburg University in 2006, with a major in English and a minor in communications.
