THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

I’m the founder and editor-in-chief of The Sprawl, a local independent online news outlet in Calgary. The Sprawl connects Calgarians with their city—and each other—through in-depth, curiosity-driven journalism. I launched The Sprawl in 2017 to help fill the ever-widening gaps in the city's media landscape. The Sprawl is crowdfunded by its readers and listeners, and is regarded as a trailblazer of local independent online journalism in Canada. In 2023, The Sprawl was named Alberta Magazine of the Year by the Alberta Magazine Publishers Association.

I also host Sprawlcast, a podcast for curious Calgarians. In addition to being available as a podcast, it also airs on CJSW 90.9 FM.

Before launching The Sprawl, I covered Calgary for local and international media. I was a staff writer for Fast Forward Weekly, a columnist for the Calgary Herald and Metro, a radio reporter for CBC and a Calgary correspondent for Monocle magazine. A two-time winner of National Magazine Awards, I also worked as a freelance writer for Swerve, Alberta Views and Reader’s Digest.
