graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College of the University of Guelph following SAC. He then completed his MA and PhD in communications at Michigan State University, followed by a 26-year academic career in environmental studies at the University of Waterloo, which included research and advocacy focused on resources, people, and environments in Northern Canada, all through the lens of sustainability.
