He moved to Vancouver where he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of British Columbia in 2018.

He subsequently worked in Powell River at a family practice and the Powell River General Hospital where he provided on-call care for dental emergencies and dental care with sedation. He has completed an oral and maxillofacial surgery externship in Lincoln Memorial Hospital, New York, as well as provided volunteer dental services internationally and locally in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside and throughout Metro Vancouver with organizations such as the Dental Mission Project.
