I joined the Chilliwack Progress in 2007. Originally hired as a sports reporter, IB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ve branched out in recent years to cover everything from school board to politics, cops, and courts to human-interest features.
I have won several awards during my time at the Progress, including a Canadian Community B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·paper Association feature writing award and four Ma Murray golds from the B.C. Community B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·paper Association. I live in Chilliwack with my wife, two children and two dogs. When IB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™m not covering the news, I coach youth soccer and prowl around thrift stores looking for vintage toys.
