WELCOME.
I’m an award-winning journalist, author, and editor who writes and edits non-fiction for books, magazines, and newspapers.
In 2018, I won the Dave Greber Freelance Writers Magazine Award for this story, which was published in the May 2018 edition of the UC Observer, now Broadview.
In 2012, I won the George Cadogan Memorial Outstanding Columnist Award from the Canadian Community Newspapers Association.
I have a Master of Journalism degree from the University of King’s College in Halifax, NS.
Here’s a quick rundown of my experience:

Great to hear that you have done an oral history on 22 Minutes and will be reading it and recommending it – even if my teaching of the history of the film and television of Atlantic Canada at SMU has been retired. Indeed, there are many such subjects that I have collected contacts and resources on in my almost 50 years now of being an historian of sound and the moving image and consulting archivist – and would love to make them available if you do further work in these areas.
