While he attended Ryerson, he toured and performed with the popular Toronto-based sketch troupe the Komic Kazes. This experience helped him land his first film role in the feature Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996). From there, he gathered vast and varied storytelling experience from writing and directing broadcast television to creating short and feature length documentaries, to spear-heading an award-winning film mentorship program at a shelter for homeless youth.
