In 2021 after the retirement of the 20 year producer, the production of the Face to Face television show with John Fairley moved from YourTV Windsor (Cogeco Cable) to the MediaPlex where I became the producer, director and editor. John Fairley is the host of Face to Face and is also the Vice President of College Communications and Community Relations.
The show is a half-hour talk show which interviews the news makers and other prominent people in the Windsor – Essex region and beyond. The show is currently in its 24th season.

Another show I produced the past four years for Face to Face is the Annual Hospice Face to Face Campaign. This show raises funds for the Hospice of Windsor-Essex via “10 friends, 10 dollars” challenge. The first time I produced the show was in 2021 when we pre-filmed all of the interviews and edited three half-hour shows which aired on YourTV Windsor.
In August of 2022, the 20th Anniversary of the campaign, we decided to run a LIVE one-hour broadcast of which I produced, directed and switched with student camera operators and Hospice team members – studio directing and ushering in/out guests as their time slots came up.
Here is that one-hour broadcast.
