George Fuller, Editor-at-Large

George Fuller is putting a whole new spin on what you’ll read within our pages.
George graduated with honors in journalism and creative writing from The University of California
at Santa Cruz in 1977. He moved up in the world of journalism, starting as a beat writer for the
daily Santa Cruz Morning Star, then features writer for The Monterey Herald, then as editor
of Monterey Life. In 1986 George moved to Hawaii as editor for Davick Publications (Aloha/RSVP magazines), then as editor and associate publisher. He is the author of nearly a dozen books on golf and publishes Tee It Up magazine in So. California.

 

James CatachiJames Catechi, Art Director

James has joined Review Publications to help bring a new look and feel to the
Maui Golf Review, while embracing that same bright and stunning design
readers of the magazine have enjoyed over the years. James comes to us via
a 15-year stretch at Nintendo of America in Seattle Washington. His most recent
accomplishments there involved the art direction and design of Nintendo
Power Magazine and marketing collateral for the Wii video game system.
As an avid golfer with an 18 handicap, he hopes his involvement with the
Maui Golf Review brings him closer to scratch status.
