Reuben Truthmaker

A 15-year resident of El Granada, Reuben TruthMaker is a dedicated husband, dad, coach, community volunteer, and creative professional. He is also a confirmed cynic, a notable futurist, and a passionate iconoclast forever seeking the greater good. Voted “Most Likely to Wear a Tin Foil Hat” during his senior year of high school, Truth loves a good conspiracy theory. Humor him.

Livvy Streetwise

Livvy and her family have lived here on the coast for 15 years and look forward to the next 15! She is an active volunteer in the community, occasional coach for her child’s soccer team, and champion of good vibes. As a ‘foil’ to Reuben’s cynicism, Livvy tries to look on the bright side of the issues, however, she has been known on many occasions, to break out the ol’ soapbox, asking “why the heck can’t we all just get along”???
