I am a former figure skater and judge from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I have been writing about figure skating history since 2013, on my blog Skate Guard. I also write for U.S. Figure Skating's magazine "Skating", the oldest continuously published skating periodical in the world. I have been consulted on figure skating history by numerous museums, as well as by television programs on CBC, NBC and ITV.

If you love reading about figure skating, add my books "Technical Merit: A History of Figure Skating Jumps", "A Bibliography of Figure Skating" and "The Almanac of Canadian Figure Skating" to your collection!

Coming in Fall 2023 - "Jackson Haines: The Skating King"! The first non-fiction biography of The Father of Figure Skating.
