Born in Brandon Manitoba, my lifelong dream is to play in the NHL. (I'm still waiting for the phone to ring. If anyone has any ideas on how to get the attention of NHL General Managers, they can e-mail me.) For now I settle with the Wednesday skates with Nick Kypreos and Darren Dreger.

The career started in Radio, with stops in Melfort, SK, Portage la Prairie, MB, Yorkton, SK, and Brandon, MB, I moved on to TV with stays at Global Winnipeg and at ITV Edmonton on "Sports Night" -- not the cancelled sitcom Sports Night, but the program where they actually show the highlights. I like to watch the sitcom, though. It makes me wonder if I am really that funny off the air.

I basically eat, drink, and play sports -- especially golf. I may just be the best sand player to ever carry a 23 handicap. My ultimate golf dream is to caddy in a professional tournament, but I don't want to set my goals too high. I lug a bag around the local muni for a $5 dollar tip.

I did, in fact, graduate from high school. I mention graduating because most people don't believe me. I think it has something to do with my spelling skills. After all, I am willing to go on record saying that spell check may be the best invention ever, above rockets to the moon and Velcro.
