Background


I grew up with an interest in the industry through my father, who was a cameraman for over forty years. I started my career at Global News at the age of nineteen. Since then I have worked as a freelance cameraman with CBC Sports in Montreal and the French CBC in Toronto. I left the CBC to start my own company, J.B.Films, in 1986.

Over my career, I have amassed an impressive array of accomplishments in both English and French. Highlights are listed below.
