October Update: A Hit with a Canadian Legend

The weekend sports shifts at Global have been a nice change of pace the past couple of weeks and they give me the opportunity to further refine my TV writing and editing skill-set.

Sticking with sports, my latest episode of Second Serve has been the best-received of the series. Most likely, it has nothing to do with me and everything to do with Daniel Nestor being my guest.


Daniel was a great sport and we had a lot of fun filming the above. He also gave me legitimately fantastic tips to help my game and I can tell they are already paying off.

Before we went on court, I conducted a sit-down interview with Daniel for a retrospective on his storied tennis career.


I have two more weekends of sports shifts forthcoming and then I'm taking off on vacation for 10 days. I think I may have some morning show shifts sprinkled in there as well.

Oh, and before I forget. The baseball playoffs are underway (my favourite time to be a sports fan) and there are now less than a dozen copies of my baseball novel left to purchase.

You can buy one online here. It also makes a great Christmas gift for sports fans and non-sports fans alike!

September Update: A Summer to Remember

My summer of tennis is rapidly coming to a close and I feel it has been a tremendous success. My game is exponentially better than it ever has been and the results, in terms of my national ranking, play out that fact.

Here's the video from the August edition of Second Serve: An Inside Look at Canadian Tennis:


And here is the link to the article.

In August, I also attended the CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin as a sideline reporter.


There's a change to my weekend schedule for the back half of September and the first half of October. I will be sports anchoring on Saturdays and Sundays for a month, so that will be a nice change of pace to my regular routine.

And this month marks my club tennis championships. Last year, I lost in the quarter-finals. I'm hoping for a deeper run this year.

Thanks for reading and watching!

August Update - Where did I go?

As I logged into the website to begin preparing this August post, I was very surprised to see that I completely missed posting something in July. My apologies. I am going to assume it was due to the stress of my tennis career.

I mentioned at the beginning of July that my next tournament was going to be on grass. Here's how I did:



And here is the written portion of the article.

My most recent tournament took place in Thornhill a couple of weeks ago and I had my best result ever.




The article documenting my big win.

A few things happening for me in August. I am away this week and then I will be co-hosting the morning show the week after the long weekend and for the following Monday.

Then I will be back to my regular schedule for the rest of the month.

Thanks for reading and watching!
