About the Lecturer

In 2001, I concluded my 35-year operationally oriented military career running the NATO military strategic intelligence organization in Mons, Belgium, that supported the campaign to bomb Serbia and occupy Kosovo. I have been engaged in advanced study and research of the intelligence function ever since.

From 2004-20011 I served as an analyst on House of Commons and Senate committees studying national security and defence issues, and supported the Joint Committee on Afghanistan and Canadian parliamentarians of the NATO Parliamentary Association. From 2007-2023 I taught graduate level conflict management, civil-military relations, and intelligence courses at Carleton University and for Wilfrid Laurier University. I founded the Canadian Intelligence Network (CIN) in 2021, a not-for-profit organization with the mission to champion and promote intelligence education in Canada. I also support the Canadian Military Intelligence Association (CMIA) as principal planner for its annual Canadian Intelligence Conference (CANIC), the largest intelligence professional development event in Canada. My current research involves the unified and interdisciplinary study of intelligence as a fundamental human biological function that provides the root of the intelligence function replicated in social groups.
