RADIO
I spent nearly four years at News1130 from 1999, when I was hired as a student intern, to 2003 when I resigned from the station as the morning show reporter.
Over that time I was fortunate to cover some major local stories, such as the Winter Olympics being awarded to Vancouver, a deadly sniper investigation in the United States that drew national attention, and the first 90 days of a new Liberal Government in the Province of British Columbia.
I worked weekends and overnights as a cub reporter, including a stint in the News1130 sports department, before settling in as the morning show reporter and relief anchor.Â
I was also the first legislative reporter in the station’s history.
While I’m no longer employed in journalism, I am still frequently asked to appear on radio or television to discuss current affairs.
The guest appearances began during my career at News1130 and continue to this day, now primarily pertaining to China’s growth and its impact on the world.
Starting in 2007 I was a regular guest on the Charles Adler Show, a nationally-syndicated talk show in Canada, to discuss Beijing’s preparations for the 2010 Summer Olympic Games.
Guest Appearances
Canadian sentenced to death in China following Huawei Detention
Canadians in China were on edge after China retaliated against Canadians for the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, a senior executive with Huawei. Meng was detained in Vancouver in December 2018 in a sensational arrest that roiled stock markets and plunged the Canada-China relationship to its lowest point in years. China sentenced a Canadian citizen to death in January 2019, upping the ante in the dispute that’s leaving many Canadians wondering if they should stay or continue to visit China.
