The Editor
Drawn by its history and historic ambience, Warwick Jones retired to Charleston, South Carolina, 11 years ago after a long career in the securities industry. Although born and raised in Australia, most of his career was spent abroad. He worked as an equity analyst in Sydney and London and managed equity research departments in both Tokyo and New York. Disturbed by the poor media coverage of Charleston’s local government, he founded the website Charlestonwatch.com to provide information about activities of the city and county governments and to encourage scrutiny of their activities. As well as covering city and county council meetings, he finds time to read and has a strong interest in history and music. He also raises orchids and is a talented classical pianist. Jones also serves on Charleston County Greenbelt Advisory Board, Charleston County Planning Commission Board, and Charleston Aviation Regional Transportation Authority Board. He is married and has two children.ver menos
