Services offered

I have a related background in print journalism and as a managing editor of a daily newspaper. In addition, I have varied and valuable life experiences, living and working in remote far northern areas of western Canada. My outlook is a fresh and unique one, having encountered the heights as well as the extreme lower limits of contemporary society.

My interests include traveling and living among the residents of diverse countries around the world, nature, ecology, ànd sharing the humam experience.
