Much later in life, after a degree in Engineering Physics and a career detour into classical singing, he returned to baking armed with science and passion. He decided to test his baking knowledge by applying to be on Season 2 of The Great Canadian Baking Show and surprised himself by being selected, and then by winning. Currently, when not working as a software engineer in a tech start-up of which he is a co-founder and director, he has been sharing his baking and knowledge by helping out charities and teaching pastry courses.
