Bio:I've always admired broadcasters that bring a little something extra to the table that separates them from the pack - an edge - without sacrificing their natural personality in the process. It's a philosophy I've tried to pattern my own career after. Unfortunately, it's landed me in hot water more times than I care to remember over the course of my eight years in television, but I figure it's better to get lost in "letters on file" than lost in "the shuffle".
I've lived in every province west of Quebec at least twice in my life, each stop providing a unique perspective on Canada and Canadian sports. That's part of what makes it especially nice to work for a regional sports network like Sportsnet, catering to the diverse sporting loyalties of this great country. Whether it's discussing The West Coast Express, The Battle of Alberta, or Leaf Nation, I hope my personal experience as both a broadcaster and fan can add to the casual conversation (or profanity-laced debate). Either way, I love my job.
In my spare time I pretend to enjoy golf… I'm a big fan of old school metal (Crue, Maiden etc.) ... my fish love it when I crank the Metal (really, they do).
