Hello Livingston. 

I'm Scott Egelberg, the new Local Editor for the Livingston Patch. I just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself.

Some of you who read other Patches may recognize me as the former Interim Editor for the South Orange Patch.  I filled in there for the seven months (October 2011-April 2012).

I've covered everything from government meetings to town fairs and anything else in between.  So I'm excited to see what Livingston has to offer. 

A little about me;  I'm a lifelong New Jersey resident.  I grew up in Randolph and I’ve lived in South Orange now for close to a decade. I graduated from Seton Hall University with a degree in communications.  I was mainly known as a big radio guy there as I was the music director and a sportscaster for WSOU.

I am heavily involved in the community in South Orange.  I currently volunteer for various town committees and am also a member of the South Orange Rescue Squad.

I love writing, and I love a good story.  With all that happens around town, there is never a lack of good things to write about.  Also if any residents have a really good story that they just have to tell everyone, send me an e-mail.

I'm excited to get involved in the Livingston community.  I look forward to jumping into my new role as editor here and sharing the community's stories and keeping residents informed of what's going on around town.

If you have a news tip, a question you want answered, or think someone you know should be profiled on Livingston Patch, shoot me an email at scott.egelberg@patch.com.

I look forward to meeting many of you, and if you see me walking around town or taking photos at an event, please say hello.
