Mark Dittmer comes to Patch from Piedmont, a city in Northern California, nestled entirely inside of Oakland.  He was a sports editor for the UCLA Daily Bruin as a sophomore, then abandoned sports writing for the better part of a decade.  He returned to the profession as the sports editor for the Novato Advance.  For two years, no sport was played in Novato (a city of 50,000 in the Bay area's Marin County) without Dittmer writing about it.  In 2009, he returned to Southern California to obtain his teaching credential, and began freelancing for the Los Angeles Daily News.  He obtained his teaching credential in 2010, and currently teaches English enrichment at a charter middle school in San Fernando and Sylmar.
