New, New & More New
This year has just flown by! So many new developments, I have had zero time to update this site. Sites like explore-mag.com, acrossandabroad.com and mediacentre.canada.travel have been getting all of my online attention lately. And it’s been a lot of attention! So, I’m the editor of explore magazine now, which is pretty cool. The Summer 2013 issue [...]
New Article in Cottage Magazine, “Ice Fishing”
OK, this isn’t new — it came out in November, I’m just shamelessly behind on my updates. But nevertheless, I covered ice fishing in the Nov/Dec issue of Cottage Magazine, representing the third instalment of my series on sport fishing. I love writing about fishing, because I love to fish. Even though ice fishing is [...]
New Article in Cottage Magazine: “Fall Fly Fishing”
It’s a poorly-kept secret that September and October presents British Columbia’s stillwater fly fishermen with some of the hottest action of the year. And, in the second of my series of Fishing Technique columns in Cottage Magazine, I show anglers the best flies to take to the water this fall. It’s straightforward and not-too-techy, so [...]
New Article in The Outdoor Edge: “C.R. Chum”
More than 55,000 readers across Western Canada are right now enjoying one of my latest fishing articles, “C.R. Chum.” Appearing in The Outdoor Edge magazine, this feature documents a two-day fishing trip to Campbell River, BC, where I attempt to determine whether or not the town deserves its title as “Salmon Capital of the World.” [...]
New Article In Pacific Yachting magazine, “Boater’s Guide to Wildlife Safety”
Following some concern from his readership regarding wildlife safety in British Columbia’s parks and wild spaces, the editor of Pacific Yachting commissioned me to write a feature article on the subject. “A Boater’s Guide to Wildlife Safety” is on stands now, in the July 2012 issue of Pacific Yachting. I actually learned quite a bit [...]
New Article in Cottage Magazine: “Lucky Lures”
The July/August issue of Cottage Magazine is one anglers will enjoy — thanks to an article I wrote entitled “Lucky Lures.” In an effort to educate cottage fishermen on the ways of the fisherman, I put together an article on how to use classic lures in new and effective ways. Trolling techniques for spoons, new [...]

2012 Issues of Western Sportsman and The Outdoor Edge magazine
With the May/June issues of Western Sportsman & The Outdoor Edge magazines out now, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the first half of the year. For those of you who don’t know, I’m the editor of both of these magazines. Both are incredibly popular: The Outdoor Edge [...]
New Feature Article in Pacific Yachting magazine, “Vancouver: Harbouring Something Special”
Pick up a copy of the May 2012 Pacific Yachting magazine — and you’ll find one of the largest features in the issue is by yours truly! It’s called “Vancouver: Harbouring Something Special,” and it’s a destination/cruising guide for boaters visiting my home city of Vancouver, BC. I put a lot of local flair and [...]

If you’re interested in recreational property in British Columbia — or just like reading about it — make sure to pick up the May/June issue of Cottage Magazine. I’ve got a great new feature article in this issue, “Cariboo Cottages.” In this piece, I delve into central BC recreational real estate. How much does it [...]
Across and Abroad Updates for April
It’s been a while since I updated you on the new posts and developments at Across and Abroad – The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure & Travel Blog.

Pickup the March/April Cottage Magazine and read my latest feature article: “Nature’s Showcase.” The piece is an in-depth look at real estate throughout British Columbia’s Sea to Sky Corridor: Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. It’s a very popular part of the province to buy recreational real estate in — and I’m showing readers exactly what it [...]
Hunt Alberta Magazine A Success!
As the contract editor for the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society’s new magazine — Hunt Alberta — I am pleased to say our first edition was a huge success! I produced a great publication (if I may say), with the help of my talented writers, photographers and art director — and the client, APOS, was pleased [...]
Western Sportsman Magazine Updates, July to December
With the Jan/Feb 2012 issue officially on the printing press today, I figured it would be a good time to look back at the last six months of Western Sportsman magazine (of which I am the editor, in case you didn’t know). As usual, our fall-winter issues are our strongest selling newsstand issues. Final numbers [...]
Across and Abroad Updates For November
It’s a chilly day in Vancouver, and I’m missing the Mexican sun I was in just a few days ago. So, I thought I’d take this moment to link my most recent articles on Acrossandabroad.com – The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure & Travel Blog. Looking for some great reads & videos? Check out: Video Post: Motorcycle [...]
New Column In CMA InFlight Magazine, “4 Reasons NOT To Take a Photo”
There have been a lot of articles on travel photography. F-stop, shutter speed, colour saturation, HDR techniques, going “stealth” and the list goes on. So I decided to deconstruct this and write an article about when to just put your camera away altogether and NOT shoot. Now, it may seem hypocritical, coming from a shutterbug [...]
New Article in CMA InFlight Magazine, “Dining Out In Edmonton”
Most people don’t think of Edmonton as a culinary destination. And, of course, it really isn’t — when compared to Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. However, that’s not to say there are NO good restaurants in E-Town. In fact, there are a lot. So many, that I decided to write an article about it. Check it [...]
New Article in Cottage Magazine: “Dawson City, YT”
I’ve been doing a lot of writing for Cottage Magazine this year — the Sept/Oct issue features an article by me about Dawson City, Yukon. Dawson City is an amazing and unique town in northern Canada that everyone should have on their must-visit list. Of course, since it’s Cottage, the slant is toward homesteaders and [...]

Cover Feature in Canadian Biker Magazine
I promised I’d be “storming into” motorcycle journalism this year (SEE HERE) — and here’s the proof: The September 2011 issue of Canadian Biker Magazine has a six-page cover feature by me, and about my brother’s Baja 500 race team. I’m truly excited to not only display my motorcycle journalism in this manner, and in [...]
“Inuvik” New Article in Cottage Magazine, Jul/Aug 2011
I’ve been in the pages of Cottage Magazine a lot this year — and with the July/August issue out now, I’m in there once again. I’ve written a great article on one of Canada’s most unique towns, Inuvik, in the Northwest Territories. Beyond simply promoting the town as an interesting destination, the article also discusses [...]

Featured Blogger on the Travel Blog Exchange
I was quite flattered today when The Travel Blog Exchange decided to honour me as one of their Featured Bloggers today. The post in question is titled “Extreme ADV Touring: Canada’s Dempster Highway.” It’s a harrowing tale of one of my greatest adventures to date: a solo motorcycle trek up the 1,470-km (round-trip) Dempster Highway [...]
