He became an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign (2004), then upgraded to an Adobe Certified Instructor (2011). He has taught in full time college and university programs around the Toronto area and continues to teach through the Sheridan College School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
