I have worked as a newspaper journalist since 1989 and have been at the Summerland Review since 1994. My work in Summerland has involved covering an array of stories affecting this community and the region. I have received recognition for my work, including the gold medal in the columnist category in the B.C. and Yukon Community NewsMedia Association in 2024.
