Frank Appleyard

A childhood spent reading newspapers led to the blossoming of a still-steamy love affair with the written word. His first timid steps into the world of journalism came in high school when he covered high school sports, the Hamilton Bulldogs and Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the Mountain News.

Later, Frank moved to the nation's capital to attend the University of Ottawa's journalism program. While there, he quickly became enamoured with the student press, and spent far more hours working at the student newspaper than studying. Despite this, the school was charitable enough to bestow upon him a degree. 

After working with Postmedia News in the company's Ottawa office, Frank later made a triumphant return of sorts to his hometown, where he can be found editing stories for Postmedia Editorial Services.

Over the course of his career, Frank has interviewed one Pulitzer Prize winner, four astronauts and a Super Bowl-champion quarterback. He will gladly accept an offer of coffee, but he generally prefers single-malt Scotch.
