He has invested his personal time doing things like working with county officials and a local mediation group to create a program to keep kids out of shelters by offering them free mediation to solve their issues with family. He served as a Commissioner and eventually the Vice Chairman of his county's Human Rights Commission. Then, looking for a more "hands on" role, he become one of the founding batch of certified Diversity facilitators for his local public school system. He helped author the training materials and train multiple years of new facilitators while working with assigned schools to help lead facilitated community meetings to address challenges around race and diversity.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Carleton University in Ottawa Canada.
