He has an honours degree in chemistry from Trent University with post-graduate courses in pharmacology and chemistry and a law degree from Queen's University. He was called to the bar in 1982. He is a Fellow of the Patent and Trademark Institute of Canada, the Advocates Society, the Canadian Bar Association, the International Trademark Association and the American Intellectual Property Law Association.
