He ministered as a hospital chaplain in Montreal and as the director of the Pacific Centre for the Family in Victoria. He led parishes through important transitions at the Church of the Advent and at St. Mary the Virgin, Metchosin.
After Montreal, he held senior management positions in several family counselling agencies and in the Social Work Department of Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, before working in Victoria as Executive Director of Pacific Centre Family Services Association. He holds theological degrees from Cambridge and McGill, and Social Work degrees from McGill.
