His sailing background is complemented by two decades of knowledge and experience as a Military Officer in the maritime domain.  Trained as an Air Navigator he commanded missions aboard Sea King helicopters flying from warships in operational, humanitarian, and high seas rescue missions in five of the world’s oceans prior to becoming a subject matter expert in the field of operational test and evaluation quantifying systems risk and human performance above, on and below the sea.
 
In 2010 the Nova Scotia Yachting the Association named him Male Sailor of the Year by for outstanding contribution to the sport of sailing. In 2011 he participated in Transport Canada’s revision of safety requirements for pleasure craft used for commercial purposes.
