General Manager Swan Valley Star & Times Swan River, MB

I am a second-generation newspaper publisher who, along with my siblings, currently own and operate 5 community newspapers in Manitoba. Growing up in the industry, and delivering papers from a young age, put ink in my veins. I have been working full time in the industry for close to 30 years now and, despite the challenges that come around frequently these days, still love it as much as ever. I live in Swan River, MB and wear many hats – publisher, general manager, advertising coordinator, columnist, and feature writer for the Swan Valley Star & Times. I’m an idea guy and love to grow and evolve what we do here and have every reason to believe there will continue to be a place for community newspapers for generations to come.

A really good mix of sports coverage from those who submitted. When the dust settled, I just really felt Listowel was very well done and deserving of the title of best sports section. I enjoyed seeing what others in the industry do and am happy I saw some great ideas we can use at our publications – which is a compliment to the submitters of this category. Well done everyone.
