He has been lucky enough to be involved in the training and education field for almost 20 years. Whether it was in a classroom environment, community centre, conference, or small gatherings, he has always tried to make sure learning is inclusive to everyone.

Helping to raise awareness for our youth has given him a purpose that is extremely close to his heart.
