Meet Patrick
Patrick O’Grady joined Independent for the second time in 2020, as managing editor before taking over as editor-in-chief in February 2022. During his first stint, he served as a reporter in Sun City West and editor of the Paradise Valley, north Glendale and Peoria newspapers between 1995 and 2000.

Community: He serves as a member of the Peoria Education Foundation board and is an alum of Leadership West.

Education: Bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona in journalism, minor in political science. 

Random Fact: Knows the back way to Prescott. The other back way, not the back way you’re thinking about, though that one is good, too.  

Hobbies: Whatever can be learned about in a deep internet dive from technology to renewable energy to music. If someone could explain the rules of cricket, though, that’d be great.
