However, due to personal responsibilities as a single father raising my family of three, I had to put my studies on hold after completing my second year. Prior to that, I attended Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology in Toronto, Ontario, from 1986 to 1989, where I specialized in Civil Engineering. Additionally, I took night courses to enhance my skills in AutoCAD, GIS PC Arc Info, and STAAD III ISDS. Before my time at Seneca, I attended Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto, Ontario, from 1984 to 1986, focusing on Architecture.
