Afternoon Host/News I may be a big city kid, but don't let that fool you! I was born in Toronto, but grew up in Ottawa. I graduated from Algonquin College's Radio Broadcasting program in 2014 and worked a whole bunch of events for the local radio station in Ottawa. After doing that for two and a half year, I got the itch to get behind the mic instead of setting them up, so I came to Bancroft. One day you'll see me on TV calling game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, but until then look for the tall, skinny guy running around the streets of Bancroft with a microphone in his hand!
