Jim is currently a writer for Canadian HR Reporter and Canadian Occupational Safety.

Jim is a professional writer with extensive experience in writing features, sports and business news, IT software manuals, and online advertisements for local and international clients in various industries. In his free time, he writes travel and sports content, goes to the gym, plays sports, and travels. He also spends a lot of time reading.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“HR and workplace safety touch almost every industry, so I try to cover the stories that actually affect people at work, from new regulations to what's happening on the ground. If something's worth covering, I'm always open to hearing about it.”
