Author: Samuel Horwitz

Samuel Horwitz is a Santa Clarita native and the younger brother of SCVAPT contributor Jerome Horwitz, though he will remind you that he is technically the one in charge. His family traces their lineage all the way back to the 1960s, when his grandparents moved to the area to start a farm in what is now Castaic Lake. Growing turnips proved unfeasible below water, so they got out of farming and started a donut shop specializing in Bear Claws.

Samuel has been described by colleagues as "bossy" and "somehow always right about everything, which makes it worse." In his spare time he enjoys local government meetings and a recurring physical comedy bit with Jerome that HR has been asked to look into.

Samuel holds no formal journalism credentials, which he considers a point of pride and shares with the rest of the SCVAPT masthead.
