Joe Ardent is a long-time designer, writer and editor at The Press-Enterprise. He has been with the PE since 1993, starting at the community papers, moving on to design/features management, CCI admin and news. He won an SPJ award in 2004 for Best Feature Front. Interviewing Joe Montana, Klaus Meine and Andrew Dice Clay are among his many highlights. When he's not designing beautiful covers now, Joe spends time with his two children, Sophia and Jack. The family loves to attend sporting events and travel. Fave destinations: San Diego, Orange County where Joe "grew up," San Francisco where Joe was born and where their favorite sports teams -- the SF Giants, Warriors and 49ers -- play. Joe has a side gig driving with Uber late nights and on weekends. Gotta pay bills. Joe lives in Murrieta with his kids and his weird cat who goes by 14 different names. Biggest hobby: cooking. He's a foodie who comes from a big Italian family, so it's in the blood. ... and loud rock music. Everything '80s, '90s. Turn it up.
