His job involved the management and care of archeological artifacts, but the archeological research methods employed in Belize are rather out of date, and there are no related programs in the universities there, so he applied for a five-year Taiwan Scholarship to study at the Department of Information and Library Science at Tamkang University.
由於他原先負責考古遺址物件的管理，而貝國的考古分類系統和研究方法已十分老舊，大學裡也無相關科系，他申請到為期 5 年的台灣獎學金，到淡江圖資系就讀，成為圖資系唯一的一位外籍生。
