Given that the web is an increasingly visual medium, I’ve deliberately chosen not to post samples of the speeches, reports and other written genres that comprise so much of my work.

The Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre is home to 450 seniors, including 250 Veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War. The work I do for the Health Centre – along with the Foundation that raises money to support it – is close to my heart. While it’s a privilege to meet Veterans and tell some of their stories, the best part for me is sharing the final product with them. Their heartfelt reactions make me recognize just how important and meaningful these projects are.

In 2012, The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation staged a series of town-hall discussions (From Headlines to History) in Ottawa as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations. I was contracted to produce a series of short bilingual videos to set up the discussions and was given extensive access to CBC archives. As a bit of a hockey nut, it was real treat to work on this one.
