He obtained a Master of Education degree at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia, in 1994. His thesis, entitled "Learning for life: up to and beyond the year 2000", explored the social aspects of education and education planning in Tuvalu.[1] He became a teacher.[2] In 2003, he published a booklet entitled Tuvalu Technical Vocational Education and Training, with the government of Tuvalu and NZAID.[3] The same year, he was named Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), a title awarded to him in recognition of his "public and community service".[4]
In 2006, he went into politics, and was elected to Parliament as MP for Nukulaelae.[5] He was re-elected in the 2010 general election, and Prime Minister Maatia Toafa appointed him Minister for Education, Youth and Sport.[6] He lost office just three months later, when Toafa's government was brought down by a motion of no confidence.[7]
