After finishing his Leadership and Management Bachelor of Business Administration Degree at the Trinity Western University, he continued to serve the Giants organization as the Office Administrator, and Events coordinator in summer of 2019 before he got promoted as the Manager of Marketing and Operations at the start of 19-20 season, which he served for three seasons.
