Hey there, I'm Marcus Randell. Originally from Portland, Maine, I moved to the West Coast for college and never looked back. After earning my Master's degree in Journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, I was captivated by the natural beauty and vibrant culture of the Pacific Northwest, which led me to ironically now settle in Portland, Oregon. I guess I got a thing for cities named Portland. My work spans various fields, including entertainment, music, sports, technology and politics, and I am passionate about bringing insightful and engaging stories to the community. In my free time, I enjoy exploring Portland's stunning landscapes, attending local music and art events, and participating in community discussions on political issues. The blend of natural beauty and cultural richness in Portland continues to inspire and drive my commitment to journalism.
