Gregory Rosser

Born and raised in St. George's, Bermuda. I moved to Canada at 17 and I've been here ever since! Both secondary and post-secondary education received north of the border. I'm a graduate of Mohawk College's Journalism, Print and Broadcast Program and I've been a part of the Vista family since June 2015 where I began my tenure in Kapuskasing, Ontario. I had no idea that when I moved to Barry's Bay I would have easy access to perogies the size of my head!
