I'm a Toronto-based photographer, writer, journalist, television producer, web producer and teacher. As well as A River Kwai Story I'm author of four previous books.

I work for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as the Photo Editor for CBC News and a producer for the news website CBC.ca/news.

From April 1998 until April 2007, I also worked as a producer of "The National" website. Before I joined the National, I was a writer/producer with CBC.ca's predecessor CBC Newsworld Online, the CBC's headline news service on the Internet. From 1994-96, I was a lineup editor for CBC Newsworld News hourlies on the weekends and wrote for other CBC News shows.
