Hi, I'm an agriculture reporter with Niagara This Week, covering stories from farm to fork, and everything in between – including wine. 

I've also: freelanced, flipped hamburgers, mowed lawns, sold computers, refereed, turned wrenches, worked as a rent-a-cop, cut prescription lenses, driven forklifts, been elbow-deep in chicken innards, discovered the tenacity of rats, managed a team of employees, and been vomited on. 

​

My reporting from the Niagara Peninsula can be found here, and for everything else, keep scrolling. 

Much of my freelance reporting has appeared in various community publications under the Metroland-TorStar, and Midwestern News banners. You can also find feature stories of mine at The Community Edition.

​

My photography has appeared on The Guardian, and in Briarpatch magazine.
