I have an undergraduate degree in vocational education from the University of Alberta and specialised in teaching welding at the Journeyman level.

After retiring ( early ) from teaching, I returned to my trade and went to work for the Boilermakers Local 146 in the Oil Sands Plan Construction. During this time I upgraded to acquire welding inspection certification, namely CSA W178.2 Level ll Visual Welding Inspector and thereater worked for EPC client and contractors as a QA/QC Inspector.
