Pop Culture

The premiere issue of the magazine. Look for my column in the June/July issue.

I am pleased to announce that my column “Pop Culture” will appear in the June/July issue of Village Living Magazine. The column is a humourous take on the trials and tribulations of being a stay at home dad/primary caregiver/cutting edge father. The issue should be out mid June. The first one is tentatively titled “Male Models”. I hope this to be the first of many columns.
