Biography
I became interested in video games, technology and writing at a young age while scouring the pages of gaming magazines like Nintendo Power and Electronic Gaming Monthly. I've interviewed a variety of tech industry executives, reviewed hundreds of games, and covered GDC, E3, Gamescom, WWDC, Apple keynotes, Samsung press conferences and various local Toronto technology press events. I've appeared on the CBC, CTV, AM640, and other TV and radio stations as a technology analyst. Publications where my work can be found include MobileSyrup, BetaKit, The National Post, The Financial Post, The Post Arcade, Postmedia, as well as a wide range of other platforms. I worked at MobileSyrup, Canada's largest tech news source, as the publication's Editor-in-Chief, where I covered video games, smartphones, gadgets, virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as controlled the day-to-day editorial direction of the publication and managed a team of full-time writers and several freelancers. I'm currently the Managing Editor of devices at Pocket-lint, where I control the daily editorial operations of the section.
