For those who don’t know me, in previous lives I was Features Editor of CANADIAN LIVING, helped launch FOOD, a short-lived but glorious Canadian equivalent to BON APPETIT.

As Executive Editor of TV GUIDE, Canada's largest magazine, I introduced Wine, Food and Sports to improve its 800,000 weekly circulation.

As Consulting Editor, I helped launch METRO, the 180,000-circulation daily in Toronto’s newspaper wars.

At Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism, I launched the flagship business magazine CHALLENGES.

At Telemedia Publishing, I developed new magazines from concept to launch.

In nine years at THE TORONTO STAR, as well as Wine Columnist, I was a Senior Editor on the National Desk, Foreign Desk, and the Business and Entertainment departments.

My newspaper career spans the MONTREAL STAR, TORONTO TELEGRAM, the CALGARY ALBERTAN, as crime reporter, and THE SHEFFIELD STAR.
