I am a board certified Hearing Instrument Specialist. I have been involved in the hearing health care industry since 1987, first working for a major hearing aid manufacturer, then going into private practice in 2005. I have an unwavering passion for this profession and encouraged my son, Benjamin, to join me in my life’s pursuit. For nine years I was an instructor at George Brown College teaching the technology courses in The Hearing Aid Program. Even though I am no longer on the faculty of this prestigious college, I still continue to mentor the young people entering the profession by providing them with an avenue to complete their clinical practicum (200 hours) and their licensing internship (1000 hours) at our various locations.

I was born in Guyana and immigrated to Canada in 1982. Even though I have spent most of my life in my new home Canada I have always felt the need to try and help my homeland in any way I can. To this end in 1997 I was instrumental in establishing a hearing aid program in conjunction with the Ministry of Health. The program was and continues to be a tremendous success and with my continued input and occasional visits to Guyana to retrain the technicians, it has evolved and spread to all regions of the country. I am very proud of my involvement in this project.
