author
An award-winning outdoor writer, he built a reputation on lively fishing stories and practical know-how shaped by years on the water. His work is especially tied to British Columbia, where he wrote with the eye of a seasoned angler and the voice of a natural storyteller.
An award-winning outdoor writer, he published articles and columns in magazines across North America, including BC Outdoors, Western Outdoors, Ontario Out of Doors, and Canadian Fishing Annual. Publishers' author pages also describe him as a world traveler who fished widely, while making his home in Courtenay, British Columbia.
He is closely associated with Island Fisherman magazine, where he served as editor. His books include Warped Rods and Squeaky Reels and Island Halibut Fisherman, the latter written with Larry E. Stefanyk and centered on west coast fishing in British Columbia.
Publisher sources note that he died in 2008. Even from these brief records, his writing comes through as warm, experienced, and deeply rooted in the pleasures and challenges of time spent outdoors.
