While this is my first freelance writing job, it doesn't mean I'm not prepared for it.

After getting a post-secondary communications degree just a few years ago, I found myself as a copy writer for a local television station in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, which is where I currently reside.

Just a couple years later I was fortunate enough to get my first journalism gig as a local sports reporter for the Wheat City Journal, a weekly newspaper publication in town. Check out our website at www.wheatcityjournal.ca.

I've covered a wide variety of sports including hockey, baseball, football and basketball. The Western Hockey League's Brandon Wheat Kings along with the Brandon University teams were my focus.

I was appointed editor of the publication just a short while ago, all the while, continuing to bring the local community great sports coverage.

Although I value my 'news' credibility and work hard at bringing features and stories on people here in the Westman community, I believe my strength will always be sports journalism and I hope to make the jump to the national stage someday.

So without further adieu, I hope you enjoy my national sports takes on a wide variety of subjects.

Enjoy!
