He grew up in Sioux Lookout Ontario and completed two undergraduate degrees at Horizon College and Seminary and Providence University College and Seminary.

As an MBA student he was invited by the late Dr. John Loxley to conduct research on the synergies between Indigenous cultures and the cooperative model in order to encourage urban economic development Initiatives that respect the self-determination of Indigenous peoples. 

He also teaches a required course at his alma mater Horizon College and Seminary as part of the college’s response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call to action 60.
