He also holds a Bachelor’s in Computer Science, an Advanced Diploma in Communications Technology, and an MBA.

He is the founder of Deenagers, a youth mentorship and identity program that has empowered more than 1,000 teens, and was instrumental in establishing one of Canada’s earliest third-space youth centers.
