With more than 50 research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, his research focus has been on the effects of chiropractic care on nervous system function, as well as the reliability and validity of vertebral subluxation indicators. This work has received several international awards and has helped attract over $3 million in external research funding to the College. Following 10 years of clinical practice he moved into a full-time role at the College. He was appointed President of the College in 2021 and has been honoured to receive recognition from the profession over the years, including Chiropractor of the Year from both the New Zealand College of Chiropractic Alumni Association in 2012 and the New Zealand Chiropractors' Association in 2014, along with the College's Staff Member of the Year award in 2019. The College is focused on delivering a world-class, evidence-informed chiropractic education that is grounded in the principles of chiropractic. They are committed to better understanding the impact of vertebral subluxation on brain-body communication and incorporating that knowledge into our curriculum in a way that reflects both scientific rigor and philosophical clarity. The programme integrates the latest research and emerging technologies to prepare practice-ready graduates who are equipped to serve their communities and contribute to the future of health care, while staying true to the values that define our profession.
