Out of Bounds with John Oakley was a sports magazine show for Men’s TV, and Fox Sportsworld Canada. I took the show from a one sentence description... to 65 half hour episodes in just six months. That included everything from animations and theme music... to finding a location... to hiring panelists... to finding a remote truck that would work Sunday mornings all summer long. It was a whirlwind of a schedule that resulted in a really hillarious series.

When I started I was making $75 a night watching hockey games. Two years later I was producing Sportscentral primetime, leading a studio crew of more than 30 people through three and a half hours of live TV every night.I also produced features for "The Business of Sports" and "The Golf Report."
