He currently serves as Assistant Professor in Indigenous Practices in Contemporary Painting and Media Art at OCAD University.

His international solo exhibitions have been presented at venues such as Canada House in London, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and the Digital Dome at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
