I was trained as a journalist and worked as a journalist for many years before switching to the business side of the publishing business. Now retired from my Toronto job, I live and work in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
I’m passionate about the role that journalism plays in ensuring effective and responsive elected government, so my initial articles were about democracy – specifically the October 2018 municipal election. I combined my interests as a data nerd and a website developer to create what I would describe as a community journalism website.
