Upon graduation from the Aeronautical Engineering program, he volunteered to sit on the SAIT Alumni Association Board, where he has remained for the past six years. This volunteer action won him special recognition as a 1991 Gold Service Award winner presented by the Alumni Association.

It is with great honour that the Trojan Athletic Foundation honours a former athlete that continues to give.
