He considers is upbringing, under the influence of his mother, as unforgettably rewarding.
His preteen schooling was derived from the British Standard English, requiring a shift from the local broken english.
Planted in his brain at an early age was the inspiration to become a medical doctor. Secondary schooling at the Grenada Boys Secondary School led to a West Indies Federation scholarship to study medicine at the University College of the West Indies in Jamaica.
In his desire to travel, extended medical training took him to the Bahamas, New York, Hawaii, and Ottawa. He then became his country’s first pathologist, followed by employment in Suriname, Nassau (Bahamas), with PAHO/WHO, Freeport (Bahamas)—his home base---, and the BVI.
