About
I live in Clarington, Ontario with my wife Sharon and our three children. I work at the intersection of practice ownership and software development.
Work
I co-founded Longworth Dental in Bowmanville (2011), expanded to Courtice (2021), and added our Lab (2021). I’m building Dentalope, a Django-based practice management system.
Research
In 2025, I completed a Master’s thesis on using transformer-based language models to identify alexithymic language patterns, supervised by Dr. James D.A. Parker through Trent University’s Department of Applied Modelling and Quantitative Methods.
Background
Born in Nova Scotia, grew up in Goose Bay, Labrador. Spent a year in Guadeloupe before studying mathematics and secondary education at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Previously taught math in English and French. I hold teaching certificates in Labrador, Quebec, and Ontario.
