If you are reading this, it means I am no longer here. The liver and colon cancer stopped toying with me on March 26, 2018. The last laugh is on the cancer; it is going to the grave with me. I was 44 and glad to be done with the damn cancer.

I will miss a lot about this earth. I loved being a writer. Every once in awhile I wandered into the area called journalism and that has a special place for me. Connections I made as a writer became some of my best friends. It’s where I had my biggest audiences.

Writing for The StarPhoenix, and talking on the radio first with Rawlco and later with CFCR, gave me an excuse to meet amazing people. I’ll forever be thankful for it.

I was born in Edmonton, lived in Calgary, experienced Rainbow Lake and Moose Jaw but deep down, Saskatoon is my home.
