His interests are in all phases of expository/academic writing, including management communication and technical writing, which he has taught at the University of Regina, Wilfrid Laurier University, and the University of Guelph. He is currently Coordinator of Writing Services for the University of Regina Student Success Centre. At SDC, he has co-developed writing programs, courses, materials, and services (in person and online), as well as presenting seminars on workplace communication for Saskatchewan Workers Compensation and the Saskatchewan Auditor-General. Most recently he played a role in the creation of the U of R's Online Writing Lab.

As Coordinator of the Wilfrid Laurier University Writing Centre (1987-1995), he developed transdisciplinary writing programs, including Writing-Across-the-Curriculum and writing-intensive initiatives for the Faculty of Arts and the School of Business and Economics. In addition, he has been a writing consultant for the Mercedes Corporation, University of Waterloo Student Housing, and organized advanced writing units (various grade levels, including OAC 13) for the Waterloo County Board of Education. His background also includes English-as-a-Second-Language instruction involving German-speaking students, at Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat in Mainz, Germany (1980-81); he has also taught at York University and the University of Guelph

He has given papers on teaching, program development and administration, assessment practices, and on the student experience in Canada and the United States.

A poetry collection, White Light Primitive, will be published by Hagios Press in Spring 2009.
