I have a graduate journalism degree from Concordia University (Montreal) and a B.A. in Canadian History and Political Science from McMaster University.

In 2000, I established my own business in Vancouver as an independent journalist and researcher. In that time, I have worked on a wide variety of projects: freelance feature and news writing for daily papers and magazines, copy editing, and research/writing for non-profit organizations.

Today I am focused on writing news and feature stories about business, resource extraction and the environment; my published works are based on my own story ideas and independent investigations.

The Great Shark Hunt: I'm going out shark fishing off the coast of British Columbia for my upcoming 2012 Canadian Geographic feature story about shark fin soup and the global decline of sharks.

I have written two chapters for The National Geographic Guide to the National Parks of Canada, -- for sale now by National Geographic Books.
