News Anchor, Afternoon

I started here in Toronto in 1969 at what was then called "career academy." One of my instructors was Bud Binny, who worked at CHFI.

From Toronto, I went north to start my life in radio, landing in Kirkland Lake. I then got a job even further north as a TV anchor in Timmins. From there, I started to move back south and got as far as North Bay where I met my wife.

We then moved to Montreal, where I worked in radio and television, and I eventually became the news director of the radio division. After the birth of our two children, the family shifted to Ottawa. We raised our children in the nation's capital while I spent turns as morning news anchor, program director and news director.

In late 1999, I returned to CFTR, now 680News, where I thoroughly enjoy co-anchoring the "afternoon drive" slot with Marlane Oliver.

Our children remain in Ottawa. We have four wonderful grandchildren. The next chapter remains to be written.
