Bio:"My broadcast career which began in 1976, took an about face in January of 2001 when I joined Rogers Sportsnet and the fun hasn't stopped!
Sportsnet has given me the chance to expand on a career that has been as much enjoyment as Sport itself. Thirteen seasons of Play by Play have come and gone ... and they include NHL and CHL Hockey ... Lacrosse ... Basketball ... Rodeo ... Baseball ... I have also acted as Host-Commentator for Hockey, Soccer, Lacrosse, Horse Racing, Football and NBA basketball throughout the years. Now because of Sportsnet, I have the opportunity of reporting on the News of the day and completing special assignments that are of importance to the Canadian Sports Fan.
Sport is about people, it is not just the score and I believe that it is the most intriguing part of our job. It doesn't have to be impersonal, it just needs to be expressed in a professional fashion. We are not cheerleaders, however it is essential we cheer for the story! Rogers Sportsnet is Canada's most proactive Sports Broadcast entity and it is a pleasure to play a role in what our network does.!"
