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 publishing news and feature stories about business and the environment; all of this work is based on my own ideas and independent investigations.

In July/August 2010:

A feature in the summer issue of Canadian Geographic -- where I follow big-tree hunter Ralf Kelman across the Fraser Valley in search of the biggest black cottonwood trees on earth.

Also upcoming in summer 2010:

The first of a five-part investigative mining series for The Tyee, which will take me up B.C.'s Highway 37 into the copper-rich Stikine watershed.
