i’m in my fourth decade with the chronicle herald. as a lifelong sports fan, athlete and amateur coach, the opportunity to tell the stories of nova scotia athletes has been a great pleasure. celebrating the 40th anniversary of dalhousie women's volleyball team's ciau championship, the love story of two of nova scotia's top curlers and celebrating nova scotia hall of fame inductees are a few of my favourite topics.

my current role finds me reporting on local news and the occasional sports story.

if you have a story idea, you can reach me at gmyrer@postmedia.com.

experience

i’ve held many roles in the chronicle herald sports department over the years, from reporter, page editor and sports editor.
