What was your first job as a journalist?

Assistant Editor of PROFIT Magazine, writing and managing its marketing and technology coverage just as the Internet was becoming a thing.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

The Trial of Ray Loewen. Totally green, I spent a week in Mississippi reporting on a Canadian firm tripped up by southern justice.
