Born and raised on the west coast of Canada, he moved to Ottawa for a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery after completing medical school at the University of British Columbia.

He studied at University of Ottawa.

After Residency he undertook a fellowship year at The Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto sub-specializing in Craniofacial surgery – mainly dealing with facial reconstruction following accidents, as well as complex nasal reconstruction and aesthetic facial plastic surgery. This also included time at the Odette Cancer Center where there was a focus on facial and peripheral skin cancer removal with complex reconstruction.

In addition to working in Canada, he has completed two international missions, one to Uganda for burn reconstruction in pediatric patient and another to Kiev Ukraine with the Canadian Ukranian Foundation to perform reconstruction on solders at the military hospital.

Recently, he has started working at our Apprenticeship Academy as a professor who helps apprentices understand the different degrees of scarring, and how to recognize when to tattoo—and when not to tattoo. The advice he gives regarding the science and medical aspects of tattooing is a valuable resource to the Apprenticeship Academy.
