Meet the Team
From a couple of us on stools at a taco stand in 2001, to a recent holiday dinner with a couple of dozen of us, BanderasNews has, and will, continue to grow with the community around us. If you have a local news story you'd like to share, or just want to give us your thoughts, feel free to contact us at Team@BanderasNews.com.

Denise Derameé - 2001
Denise Derameé came to Puerto Vallarta from Dallas, Texas in January of 2000. She is one of the original members of the BanderasNews Team, starting out as an advertising sales representative. Eventually, she moved on to writing feature articles, reporting Puerto Vallarta art and cultural news, and developing the Vallarta Art Talk section of BanderasNews. As her writing career progressed she began using her newfound skills, along with the knowledge she earned while studying for her degree in small business marketing and management, to promote Vallarta as a premier vacation destination to a worldwide audience via the Internet.

Over the years, Erich has contributed his graphic design, writing, and photographic skills to our efforts, and continues to bring so many different things to our publication that it's useless to try to list them all. Erich believes that open minds make the world a smaller, warmer and more comfortable place in which to live and that by keeping an open mind, you can meet the most intelligent, genuine, caring, eccentric, creative and adventurous people you could ever hope to encounter - and, without them, life would be a vastly different place. His views are just that - HIS - and if you don't agree, that's ok with him.
