About Jon Waldman

Jon Waldman is a jack of all trades in the journalism world, writing on topics ranging from hockey to construction to medicine in any given week.

Jon grew up in Winnipeg, where he earned his first journalism paycheque writing a high school column for a local community newspaper. In university, Jon honed his skills writing for the campus newspaper and music magazines, while also writing for various websites.

After graduating from Ryerson University with a Bachelor of Journalism degree in 2002, Jon began working in freelance for a variety of publications, including stints with the Winnipeg Sun and Toronto Sun as a weekly contributor. He also became a major part of a sports collectibles publication.

After working strictly as a freelancer for a couple years, Jon joined Matrix Group Inc., a trade publication group, as editor. He was with the company for over two years before an opportunity came up a the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg. Serving as Communications Coordinator, Jon has now been with Federation for nearly two years.

Through both positions, Jon has maintained his freelancing career. Current and past companies Jon has worked with include Studio Media Group, The Winnipeg Free Press, Volunteer Manitoba, Sun Media, Wellington West Capital Inc., Resource World Magazine, The Topps Company and several others. Jon's first book, "SLAM! Wrestling: Shocking Stories from the Squared Circle" launched in November 2009 and his second book is due in bookstores in April 2011.

Through his years in journalism, Jon has remained loyal to his first love - hockey. His writing adventures have lead him to work with The Hockey Hall of Fame, The Hockey News, The Hot Dog Hockey Post, Canadian Hockey Magazine, Sportsology and others. He has also been a regular guest on the The Great Canadian Talk Show on 92.9 KICK FM in Winnipeg and was a co-host on the now defunct XM Hockey Hour, along with guest spots on several other programs.

Along with his writing and editing careers, Jon has also focused on his photography skills. He has contributed pictures to The Winnipeg Free Press, SLAM! Wrestling and other publications, as well as taking photos for In The Game Inc., a trading card company. In 2009, Jon shot his first wedding and looks forward to more photography opportunities in the future.
