He’s also an award-winning broadcaster with a decade-and-a-half of experience on three continents. He’s worked as a news reporter, a sports host (including during the 2020/2022 Olympics) and co-hosted PowerBoat Television for five years.

He was the Sports Host for the Canadian Screen Award-winning “Morning Live with Heather Hiscox” on CBC News Network (Best Morning Show 2022).

How can a small propellor move big boats so fast? Why don’t the doors in locks collapse under the pressure of an entire lake?
