He has competed for Canada in pistol-shooting events at four Olympic Games,[1][2] and has won five individual medals in pistol-shooting at three Commonwealth Games and four individual medals in pistol-shooting at three Pan American Games.

He was interviewed on the series Still Standing in 2016, where he talked about his role looking for pollution sources in the community. He thwarted a murder attempt by a business owner by tackling the rifle-toting man, hurling him about, and then medically assisting him before taking him to the hospital.
