In addition to these published papers he has presented at conferences in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as spending an academic year as the Resident Fellow at the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership at the United States Naval Academy.

He has worked on research projects for both Foods Standards Australia and the Victorian Police, and as a special consultant on a recent project to provide the ADF with a framework to deal with issues in military health ethics. He has provided advice on Codes of Conduct to the Police Forces of New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, and on policies to ensure the ethical conduct of research involving humans for the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, and serves as an expert member on the Australian Defence Human Research Ethics Committee.

At UNSW Canberra he teaches courses in military ethics and practical ethics at both undergraduate and post-graduate level.

He can also make balloon and origami animals, juggle, breathe fire and ride a unicycle, though not all at the same time.
