I joined Black Press in September 2021 as Publisher of the Free Press. My career in Newspapers started in 2003 in the call centre at the Calgary Sun, fielding calls from people who didn't receive their paper that day and selling subscriptions and promos. Since then, most of my career in Publishing has been in advertising. I have worked at several Community publications throughout BC and Southern Alberta as well as two Daily Newspapers.

I joined Black Press in September 2021. My career in publishing started in 1994 after completing a Journalism Diploma in Calgary. For the remainder of the '90's, I worked in local city publications before accepting the role of National Advertising Supervisor at the Calgary SUN in 2000. Since then, I have worked at 4 daily papers and 18 community papers in the role of Publisher and Advertising Director at newspapers such as The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, the Lethbridge Herald and the Prince George Citizen.
