A native of Orange County, Calif., award-winning sportswriter Richard Dunn has been writing about sports since age 11, when he penned his first letter to a major league baseball player. Dunn was Sports Editor for school newspapers in junior high, high school and college, and later the Daily Pilot, a Los Angeles Times community newspaper. In a quarter-century at the Daily Pilot, Dunn covered local sports, including golf, tennis, sailing, surfing, country clubs, tennis clubs and yacht clubs, as well as the NFL, Major League Baseball and college football. Since 2012, Dunn has been writing a weekly sports column, billed “Dunn Deal,” for the Orange County Register/Coastal Current. In 2019, Dunn authored his first book, “14 Weeks: The Most Improbable High School Football Season in History,” available at Amazon, and published "One Pitch Wonder" in 2020. Dunn won the Orange County Reporter of the Year/Sweepstakes Award at the Orange County Fair Media Awards, and co-hosted a cable television sports show “From Press Row.” When he’s not writing about sports, Dunn works as a consultant for nonprofit organizations in grant writing, fundraising and public relations. Dunn loves all sports and played three years of professional baseball. He lives in Newport Beach, Calif., with his wife, Andrea. They have two sons, Nolan and Julian (deceased). View more posts
