About/contact Tyler Olsen

After two years-plus reporting on anything and everything at The Morning Star in Vernon, B.C., Canada, I packed up my desk (a tremendous feat itself) and, along with my Polish-Canadian girlfriend, headed to Europe where I am wrote and generally lived the unemployed life. We set up base in Warsaw, Poland, which boasts among other things, a tremendous number of sad memorials, a handy metroline, good perogies, a great internet cafe and a lot of people who don’t look where they’re walking.

In 2009 we returned to B.C., where I found employment at a business news agency. Saying any more about my current work may get me in trouble so I will shut my pie hole. The job sucked, so I bolted there for a PR agency. But I didn’t like that job either. I’m now working as a reporter and photographer at the Chilliwack Times, a job that very much does not suck (and I’m not just saying that). There I cover the courts, crime and sports, including the local Western Hockey League team. I can be reached at tyolsen(at)gmail.com. I tweet (God, I hate that verb) at twitter.com/tylerolsennow.
