About Trinity Alps Media
Where Creativity Meets Purpose
At Trinity Alps Media we tell stories with genuine heart. Located in Redding, we are passionate about all that is Northern California and what it means to be a person living here. We love the uniqueness of this city and region. We love our local authors, artists, business owners and neighbors. We love the natural landscape and incredible outdoor environment that impacts the people here.
Our stories are honest, inspiring and dedicated to the greater good of our community. Our stories are hopeful, even when we shine a light on tough topics. Our stories create unity and conversation. Our stories galvanize and mobilize. Our mission is to provide thoughtful, meaningful and transformational communication through media modalities.
An Unlikely Beginning
But how did it all begin? What happens when a physicist and a Shakespeare scholar walk into a bookstore? Trinity Alps Media is born. Trinity Alps Media founders, Les Reading and Sarah Bartlett come from polar opposite backgrounds. Les is an accomplished physicist who has made his success in the world of microwave antennas. Sarah is a self-professed word-nerd. She has a master’s degree in English Lit with a concentration in early modern British Literature, as well as a minor in Creative Writing. What could possibly bring two such different people together? The answer is a love of Redding and a dream of making the world a better place through the power of communication. Our founders are wholeheartedly dedicated to this task.
A Future Of Love and Empowerment
Trinity Alps Media’s objective is to be an exordium of thought in Northern California. We want to spread the love (and have some fun while we do it!). At Trinity Alps Media, we carefully curate the content that we feel will enrich our community. Everything we do is through a lens of intentionality and excellence. Our focus is on non-fiction stories and stories inspired by true events. Our goal is to empower our readers towards a greater understanding of the world around them. Through our communication modalities, we strive to raise important questions, so that as a community, we might solve them together. Because here in Redding, we always look to the horizon.
