  I started volunteering with this organization the fall of 2016. Now, I am part of a team that connects the larger religious community with society’s most vulnerable to form a mutually beneficial relationship and to build a healthy community connection between the two groups. This is done through training and by the formation of a team based model to reach out to people by providing community programs that emphasises the love that God has for us through Jesus. My particular role is to the in the inner city residents, those struggling with addictions and those entering back into society after spending time in prison. Since my teams have been allowed back in after COVID restrictions have been lifted we have increased our base of volunteers in the inner city with more venues.

• Reservist Military Chaplain

  • Jan 2015 - Mar 2018

  I joined the RESO program chaplain in training with the goal to become a regular military chaplain. I enjoyed the training and experience, but it turned out that my military experience was going to only be part of my development towards serving the vulnerable of society.

• Signals Reserve NCM

  • Feb 2011 - Dec 2014

  Signals is related to communications. We are the first in and the last out in a crisis. Without the ability to communicate, whether by radios, computers or satellites, your effectiveness in solving the crisis reduces dramatically. If you can’t communicate with the others involved, you can’t do the job.



Correctional Service of Canada

• Correctional Officer/ Parole Officer

  • Feb 2005 - Jun 2016

  The goal of the organization was to ensure public safety while providing safe and secure control of those incarcerated. I started as a correctional officer I, which is mainly security related. After a couple of years I became a pathways correctional officer II, which led me into doing casework. Later I was able to take parole officer training and act as a pathways parole officer which involved integrating indigenous culture into the offender's correctional program. Also, the goal of a parole officer was not only to do analysis, but was to ensure offenders were on the right track and following their correctional plan in an effort to facilitate them into being law abiding citizens. I was trained to deliver correctional programs related to addictions, but never had the opportunity to deliver the program.
