Profile
When I was growing up, my dad had a quote posted above the desk in his office.
“If I am not clear, then the world around me collapses.”
A self-described wordsmith, Dad spent his life honing his craft. He wrote short stories for mystery magazines, a weekly column for the community newspaper, and at least one unpublished novel.
And he never gave up on his dream of being a newspaper editor.
I like to think I picked up where he left off.
After a brief career as an editor at the biggest newsroom in Western Canada, I left the newspaper industry.
But I took with me the lessons I learned there.
Facts matter. Deadlines matter. And yes, clarity matters.
No matter what you’re writing, I have the background, avidity, and meticulousness needed to help make it the best it can be.
I look forward to working with you.
