A selection of my work for the Whistler Question (which closed in 2018) and the Squamish Chief newspapers. Since 2013, I’ve won nine press awards for photojournalism.

I started as a full time newspaper photographer in 1991. In 1994 I moved to South Africa where I covered the fall of the apartheid era and the transition to free rule. In 2012 I went to work for the Whistler Question, and in 2014 I joined the Question’s sister paper, the Squamish Chief as photographer.
