He has served as a Board Member for the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick, First Reads Editor for The Fiddlehead, and currently serves as a member of the AX: Arts & Culture Centre of Sussex Literary Committee. His writing has appeared in Arc Poetry Magazine, Qwerty, FreeFall, The League of Canadian Poets' Poetry Pause series, the Newfoundland Quarterly, Riddle Fence, and elsewhere.
