The Hottest 25 People of Orange County
by jerry hicksPublished: November 01, 2011
Every year, for the past 21 years, the editors of OC METRO have had the daunting task of selecting a roster of the Hottest 25 People of Orange County from literally thousands of contenders. This year – our 22nd-annual list – was no different.
The process started in January, as we began to monitor the region’s movers and shakers, tracking them in the news, on Facebook and through LinkedIn. We received a flood of nominations from readers via ocmetro.com. And then, some time in August, the ritual of narrowing the list began; first to 100, then to 50 and finally to the much-anticipated list of 25 of the most impressive and influential people in O.C. Here they are.
