California’s story is vast and iconic.

Hey there, I’m Conor Villines—journalist, history nerd, and proud Californian. I’ve spent years exploring the world, but no place fascinates me more than my home state. With a master’s in journalism and a passion for storytelling, I’m here to make California’s history as exciting and accessible as it should be. From the Gold Rush to tech booms, this place is full of stories worth sharing. 

Let’s Access California together!
