Welcome

Being a freelancer affords me the freedom to explore opportunities of interest, and over the last 10 years I’ve been fortunate to pursue a lot of interesting opportunities.

Since I first ventured into self-employment I have published stories about money for Fortune, politics for Politico, cryptocurrency for CoinDesk and music for Rolling Stone. I help TIME Magazine put together its annual list of the top 100 best inventions of the year, and write about my home and native land for international publications like The BBC and The Guardian. I even published a story about mental health for The New York Times.

Most often, however, I write about “the future of work,” which I have been reporting on while also working out the kinks of remote work and self employment since early 2013. That year I began writing for the Careers section of The Globe & Mail and by 2015 for Fast Company‘s WorkLife section as well. I continue to share my thoughts on the space for both publications, and occasionally pitch in on related subjects, like personal finance, tech, entrepreneurship, ESG and small business.

When given the opportunity I also enjoy putting all the individual pieces together and presenting the bigger picture to live audiences. Over the years I’ve been invited to speak at business schools and post-secondary institutions, as well as at conferences and industry events about what the changing world of work means for specific audiences. I’ve also participated in conversations with business, arts and political leaders on stages across North America and Europe.

Over the last decade I’ve engaged in a select number of projects with private clients, helping them with written communications ranging from blog posts to white papers to books. I also work with the sponsored content teams of several major publications, including The Globe & Mail, TIME Magazine, and The New York Times.

Early in my career I asked an editor why they continued working with me when there were so many more qualified and experienced writers to choose from, and they told me it was quite simple: I was reliable and knew what I was talking about. Since then I have always sought to maintain those two traits, knowing that I would enjoy a fulfilling and endlessly interesting career so long as I proved to editors, readers and audiences that I was reliable, and knew what I was talking about. Thus far I couldn’t be happier with the results.
