“My electronics training at the College of Fisheries, Navigation, Marine Engineering and Electronics at the former Parade Street campus of Memorial University College prepared me well for a career in instrumentation. I began working for Horbia Instruments Singapore Ptd Ltd. in November 1985 and I became president of the Asia–Pacific sector for this company in 1997. During my career I have travelled worldwide, especially in the Asia-Pacific countries and have had the privilege to work across many cultures.

I look fondly back at the College of Fisheries as a place where I had a great education and made many friends worldwide. I also enjoyed great Canadian hospitality, especially with Newfoundlanders. I have very fond memories and made many good friends. It was a tremendous life changing experience.”
