You can call me 'doctor' but I find that a bit pretentious.

Juris Doctor (University of Western Ontario)

PhD, Law (University of Cambridge)
Called to the Bar in 2013

Some facts about me:
Before going into law I was a recording engineer/music producer. At the peak of my career, I worked with the likes of Garth Hudson and Blondie Chaplin.
I articled under Wanda B F Corston, a family law lawyer in London, Ontario and status 'Indian'. Many of the clients I worked with during that time were members of the indigenous communities in, and around, London.
I went through a bitter divorce before becoming a lawyer, and more recently, I was co-executor of my father's estate. Having first-hand experience, these are not hypothetical circumstances for me.
PUBLIC SPEAKING:
Are you holding an event, and need a speaker? With a PhD from the University of Cambridge, research published in some of the top law journals in the world, plus real world experience as an author, lawyer, music producer and community activist, I can provide a speech or lecture tailored to meet your needs. I can give talks on various topics in law, on becoming a lawyer, on the history of UK solicitor firms, on sound recording & music production, on succeeding at university (undergraduate & law school), on the value of immigrants to Canada, or on a topic shaped specifically for your event. I don't expect to be paid much for it. As the saying in the music industry goes, 'it's for the exposure'.
I SUPPORT CHARITIES & SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS:
Are you a charity or provider of social services in need of assistance? Message me. I'll help if I can.
