Some people like to collect press clippings of themselves whenever they appear in the newspaper or whatnot. I do too, but only to remind myself later on about the things that I’ve done. It’s not the sort of thing I would normally show off to people!
Unfortunately, my collection of paper clippings has long since been lost or damaged, so this page will collect anything about me that’s ever been published digitally by someone else who was not me (that I still have access to in 2018 and onward; alas, the various TV/Radio interviews I’ve done in the past are probably now buried deep in the annals of the Internet never to see the light of day again) so I can one day tell my grandkids all about the cool stuff I’ve done in my life.

The above list is not complete, though. I definitely remember some other articles and stories that I’ve given interviews for (that might still be available in places like the Wayback Machine but alas, that thing isn’t easily searchable), and it doesn’t account for all the various places where my photos have been credited (especially my Flickr photos; I’m looking at you, Buzzfeed!) or news stories that I’ve helped facilitate (but did not directly participate in via interview) in some of my past work as a Media Relations guy for various organizations either.
Here’s a gallery of the press/print clippings that I do have access to:
Calgary Herald, Saturday, April 7, 2012, Page A1 Calgary Herald, Saturday, April 7, 2012, Page A6 Calgary Herald: Neighbours, Thursday, March 8, 2012, Page N3 Edmonton Journal, Saturday, July 16, 2011, Page A7 Metro Calgary, Friday, July 9, 2010, Page 18 The Globe and Mail, Tuesday, June 25, 2013, Page A4 Calgary Stampede 2012: Souvenir Parade Program, July 06, 2012, Page 33 Calgary Herald, Tuesday, April 24, 2007, Page A13 Calgary Herald, Wednesday, December 5, 2007, Page A2 Calgary Herald, Tuesday, December 11, 2007, Page A15 Calgary Herald, Friday, May 18, 2007, Page A25 Calgary Herald, Monday, March 26, 2007, Page A19 Calgary Herald, Monday, March 19, 2007, Page A17 Calgary Herald, Sunday, December 19, 2010, Page C6 Calgary Herald, Sunday, October 8, 2006, Page A6 Calgary Herald, Thursday, March 28, 2002, Page B1 Metro Calgary – February 03, 2011, Page 12 Metro Vancouver – September 21, 2011, Page 17 Machine Man, Max Barry, Vintage, August 09, 2011, Pages 275-277 Calgary Herald, Sunday, August 1, 1993, Page 12 Calgary Herald, Friday, December 4, 2009, Page B5

I’ll be adding to the list as I rediscover older stories (or maybe even create some new ones in the future??) too.
