Why I am a broadcaster:  In this industry, every day brings something new.  The stories we tell are about real people with real problems or triumphs, and being a part of that is something unique… plus you get to go a lot of places that not many can say they’ve been!

About Me:  I can still remember the moment I decided to become a broadcaster. I had been injured in a hockey game and was invited to sit in on a TV broadcast and do colour commentary. From the moment the puck dropped I knew that if pro hockey didn’t work out (which it didn’t) then the next best thing would be to talk about it! A fun fact, Nobel & Pulitzer Prize winning author Ernest Hemingway is my great great uncle
