Stan Michalak is presently in the last of three professions he has enjoyed over his lifetime. The first, the military, took him to postings overseas including a UN peacekeeping tour while in army green, then a stint in air force blue after receiving his officer’s commission.
His second career was with local media – first radio news at CKRC, then television news and current events programming at CKND. His third, and likely last, endeavour is graphic design. He pursued art as a teen under his father’s guidance but did not return to it until 1990 when he purchased his first Mac. Trained in the traditional mediums, Stan has enjoyed combining his art skills and the digital platform working in the magazine and book industries. He has published numerous articles in national publications and has a book of fiction in the wings. His Winnipeg home sports his artwork (and some of his father’s) on the walls.
He is an avid big-game hunter, angler, passionate golfer, an obsessive scale modeller of aviation subjects and spent many years performing musical comedy theatre on stage (and can still croon a Sinatra tune).
