Story Trainer

An odd mix of awards in newspaper journalism and editing, business communications, and – an emerging obsession – short fiction. 100 Days in the Jungle was a nonfiction bestseller that won exactly zero awards as the book I wrote, but crazy-talented people made it into a Gemini-winning CTV movie. Proudest achievement to date: building a story and strategy company with my friend and fellow Echo collaborator, Todd Babiak.

Six-word memoir

Story, not baseball, was the answer.

Favourite book

The Information by Martin Amis

Deepest fear

That my wife, Rebecca, and boys Josh and Brady would be unhappy, for any reason.
