About Gavin Rozzi

Gavin Rozzi is an independent journalist & web developer who has created several successful local news websites and investigative journalism platforms serving New Jersey.

His political news website Ocean County Politics quickly became a “must read” for political insiders and public officials with in-depth reporting about local government, campaign finance and revelations about investigations of public officials in Ocean County, NJ. Articles published on Ocean County Politics have been cited by local, regional & national news outlets.

Rozzi’s second web project, JerseyLeaks, a whistleblowing platform operated in collaboration with other journalists, uses encryption to provide anonymity to sources seeking to blow the whistle on matters of public corruption. This platform has helped multiple journalists securely interact with anonymous sources and disseminate materials provided by them.

In 2017 he launched OPRAmachine, a statewide freedom of information portal and the first website of its kind to serve the entire state of New Jersey. The website allows anybody to easily request public documents from state and local governmental agencies under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA).

Since its inception, OPRAmachine has developed into New Jersey’ largest archive of state, local & county public documents, making its entire archive of documents available to the public.

Ocean County College (Fall, 2017 semester):

• ALDC 102 - Addictions Counseling II

In this class, working with Professor Jack Brogan, I participated in an exercise that saw the students create their own jobs program for recovering addicts. Given the pervasiveness of the opioid epidemic in Ocean County, participating in this class gave me a unique perspective on the various solutions to the addiction crisis. I also provided technology assistance throughout the semester to this class, and helped to modernize the delivery of course materials compared to methods employed in past years.

Stockton University (Fall, 2018 semester):

• POLS 3221 - Constitutional Law

• POLS 3223 - Civil Liberties

I am available for hire as a consultant for commercial projects and partners interested in utilizing my services.

Some of the types of projects I am interested include:

• Web development projects (WordPress etc.)
• IT and technology projects (Linux and Windows server issues)
• Writing and copyediting projects
• Video production and photography

I have created this section of my website due to the numerous inquiries I receive from users of my web services.

Public records research services

Due to my reputation for making use of the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA) for investigative reporting, I am often asked about assisting in researching a given topic for individuals and business owners using OPRA. I will soon be offering OPRA research services for those who would like to have me research a specific topic and provide them with the records I obtain.

Rates for these services will be announced on this website at a later date.

I cannot provide legal advice to you about an OPRA request or how to proceed with a specific legal strategy.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss a potential project.
