443<p><strong>Kevin D. Hendricks</strong>, local <a href="http://monkeyouttanowhere.com">freelance writer</a> and <a href="http://kevindhendricks.com">blogger</a>, is the founding editor of West St. Paul Reader. He started blogging about West St. Paul on his personal blog back in 2014. This local passion didn&#8217;t go away, so Hendricks embraced hyper-local news and launched West St. Paul Reader with the help of a Kickstarter campaign (and lots of <
443a href="https://www.patreon.com/weststpaulreader">ongoing community support</a>) in 2019.</p>
444<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></h3>
445<p>Hendricks has lived in West St. Paul, Minn., with his wife and two kids since 2007. He’s been blogging <a href="http://www.kevindhendricks.com/1998/12/05/in-the-beginnning/">since 1998</a>, loves biking, and likes to <a href="https://amzn.to/2MHqAxB">read a lot</a>. In 2020, Hendricks wrote a book called <em><a href="http://betterpoliticsplease.com">Better Politics, Please</a></em> that was <a href="https://weststpaulreader.com/2020/09/25/better-politics/">inspired by West St. Paul</a>.</p>
