He joined the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1964 shortly after the alledged Gulf of Tonkin attack. After leaving the Navy, he moved to Canada in 1970 where he opened a photographic gallery, and later worked as a staff photographer for the Vancouver Sun. Then, as a freelance photojournalist, he sailed the South Seas on a 31-foot trimaran named Celerity until 1985. He co-founded Green Islands and the Save Georgia Straight Alliance, and aimed to expose illegal logging practices. During the Gulf War, while on a peace mission with artist Carl Chaplin in Jordan, he co-founded the Gulf Environmental Emergency Response team. He then served five months in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as a member of a three-man environmental emergency response team and made the documentary documentary Eco War. In January 1998, he made the first of eight guest appearances on the radio talk-show Coast To Coast to describe a phenomenon later popularized as chemtrails. In 2003, he published All Fall Down: The Politics of Terror and Mass Persuasion, a comprehensive look at the events and motives surrounding 9/11. In 2010, he published Chemtrails Confirmed.
