After working stints in telemarketing, environmental research, aerospace manufacturing, particle physics, oil sands, medical robotics, and the military as an officer, Victor won the Canada Graduate Scholarship and earned his Master of Science at MIT.

In this interview, Victor provides a first-hand look at what he is accomplishing with Gerijoy and the challenges associated with seniors and elder-care living, as well as other tremendous insights into the health landscape today, plus shares his incredible background. Alzheimers and senior care are so important in health today, as is loneliness, and Victor is tackling these problems and more head on using innovation in a truly unique way merging technology and pet therapy.
