$\"P1000956\"$ Strategic Storytelling. Powerful Results.

My career started with a microphone and a voice on the airwaves – hosting radio in small-town Ontario while still in high school. Within a few years, I\u2019d earned a prime-time slot and a music director title, then packed up for the prairies in search of bigger skies and bigger stories.

That love of connection and communication never left. It simply evolved.

Clients come to me when they\u2019re tired of guesswork and jargon. I\u2019m known for giving straight answers, building smart strategies, and delivering creative that actually works. Whether it’s a startup trying to stand out, or a non-profit that needs to do more with less – I bring clarity, creativity, and a track record of results to every project.

My background is as diverse as the people I work with. I\u2019ve been a broadcaster, agency consultant, entrepreneur, and communications leader at one of Canada\u2019s largest humane societies – navigating everything from crisis media to campaign launches. I\u2019ve sat at boardroom tables for everything from early daycare co-ops to one of the province’s largest credit unions. And I\u2019ve built a business from the ground up, growing an award-winning franchise.

I’m also an experienced voice talent, trusted by clients across the globe – from Paris to Texas – for narration, commercial, and IVR work. Projects I\u2019ve voiced include brands like Deerhurst Resort, the U.S. Army, Farm Credit Canada, 310-TAXI, and Broadway Bank.

Outside the studio or strategy room, you\u2019ll likely find me in the cockpit. I\u2019m a fixed-wing pilot and volunteer with the Canadian Civil Air Search and Rescue Association, flying real-world missions for the RCAF and RCMP.

If you’re looking for someone who understands both the art and the execution of marketing, storytelling, and communication, let\u2019s connect. I\u2019d love to hear what you\u2019re working on, whether it be marketing, small business, comms, or voice work.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy what you find here, always.<\/p>\n\n\n
