Moving to New Brunswick, I’ve decided to immerse myself in the local craft beer world.  

There are surprisingly many options to choose from and I have some I like better than others.

I was inspired by radio growing up.  I went to school for radio and worked in radio for the early and late parts of my career.  But radio has changed....and I don't think for the better.  Living in New Brunswick I just don't get the local flavour I want anymore.  

Feel free to comment or send me a text to 416-841-5669 or email at [email protected]. 

If you have story ideas or would like to be interviewed....I'm all ears!

I started working full-time in 1982 and when I thought I was retired in 2020, there were new challenges I needed to tackle.  Now I'm done with communications work and happily on to my next chapter....being retired and enjoying life finally. 

Happy to chat with folks for the podcast and please reach out if you need any assistance or to check in.  [email protected] or 416-841-5669. 

I hope my words help you make your sound retirement decisions.
