He has advanced the interests of people with physical disabilities for more than thirty years. His "learning through living" philosophy offers new opportunities for people with disabilities to pursue independent lifestyles. He helped establish a unique housing facility, one of the first in Manitoba, that promotes an environment of self-reliance, fosters skill development and, through the shared experiences with other tenants, builds confidence. Generous with his time, he has also been involved with sports for the disabled, as well as The Independent Living Resource Centre in Winnipeg.
