I am a priest of the Catholic Church having been Received into the Church in London, United Kingdom in 1991.

Previously I taught in secondary schools in Zambia, Canada and the United Kingdom before becoming an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. As an Intelligence officer I served in Canada, the United Kingdom and the countries surrounding the Persian Gulf and loaned to the United States Navy.

In preparation for the priesthood I studied at the Grand Séminaire de Montréal and its component the «Institut de Formation théologique de Montréal» in Philosophy and Theology for the Lateran Pontifical University. I have presented and published articles in bioethics and history to conferences in North America, eastern Europe and Africa.

I speak English and French fluently. I recently studied German through Goethe-Insitut thirty years after studying German at the University of King’s College and completed online courses in Biblical Hebrew through Jerusalem University online.

I hold bachelors degrees in History, Education and Theology; a Masters in History from Université Laval and doctorates in both Education and Theology from universities in the Republic of South Africa (University of South Africa and Universiteit van die Vrystaat). I completed Post Doctoral studies in Education at McGill University in Montréal, Canada.
