Previously counsel with the federal Department of Justice (2007-2013) focusing on environmental and natural resources law at Fisheries and Oceans Canada, he clerked for the Federal Court of Appeal after law school.
His research centers on environmental, natural resources, and water law with specific expertise in environmental assessment, adaptive management, ecosystem services valuation, land-use planning, and climate change litigation.
