6 | FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE I’m honored to introduce my company, Camelback Media Group, as the new steward of Frontdoors Media and The Red Book . This transition is happening during a difficult time for many of the people involved due to the passing of Andrea Tyler Evans. I had the opportunity to get to know her as the ownership transition took place, and it was clear why she was so beloved by so many friends and colleagues. She was a beacon of light for many, and her true passion was to make our community a better place to live. She will be dearly missed, and our deepest condolences go out to everyone who is feeling her loss. It was a pleasure, however, to work with her and her husband Tom — who has agreed to try to fill her shoes as Publisher Pro Tem — on making Frontdoors part of our media family. By way of background, Camelback Media Group was formed when we had the opportunity to buy Arizona Foothills Magazine in 2021 and Arcadia News in 2024. In both cases, we had the goal of ensuring these publications remain true community assets moving forward. When Andrea and Tom approached us earlier this year about purchasing Frontdoors Media, we quickly realized it was a great match. I’m a Valley native, and I have deep roots in this community. My family and I approach all our business endeavors with a focus on creating value for our friends, family and neighbors. That’s why Frontdoors Media and The Red Book are such an ideal fit for Camelback Media Group. We are ready to embrace the Frontdoors mission, which is to be the premier source of information — and inspiration — for those who strive to make the Valley of the Sun a better place to live. Our commitment to the community is that we will carry on Andrea’s legacy and the vision she and her team created for Frontdoors Media and its family of publications. And we are thrilled that longtime editor in chief Karen Werner will remain in the position, ensuring that Frontdoors ’ editorial excellence and community focus will continue uninterrupted, despite Andrea’s passing. We will continue to be at the intersection of community, philanthropy and lifestyle, and to tell the stories of those who are making a difference. And we will work to broaden even further the positive impact Frontdoors is having on the Valley of the Sun. I look forward to meeting many of you as we work together in the future, and at Andrea’s celebration of life on Oct. 1. It will be an honor for all of us to carry her legacy forward together.
