Background
Born, raised, and educated in Windsor, I did research on networking protocols for interactive simulations and games for my M.Sc., followed by research on natural language processing. I was a teaching faculty (lecturer) at the University of Windsor for 10 years. In 2011, my family and I moved to Kamloops B.C. because I had another faculty position at Thompson Rivers University, before returning to Ontario, and coming to Ontario Tech, in 2013.
