He worked in telemarketing, environmental research, aerospace manufacturing, particle physics, oil sands, medical robotics, and the military, graduating as Wesbrook Scholar from UBC. In completing his Master’s degree at MIT, he worked on NASA-sponsored human-machine interaction research and a clinical study at Brigham & Women’s Hospital.
