Glen’s time practicing Law has been almost exclusively in the area of litigation. This has included significant criminal advocacy from the Local Court level to the Supreme Court and Royal Commission.
Extending from this experience, Glen recognized trends in personality profiles in relation to sentence matters within the Local Court environment. In 2010 he commenced his studies in psychology and graduated in 2015. During those studies he grew to understand the systematic nature of certain psychological tests and saw an opportunity to merge technology, psychology and the law into the initial IIR-L program.
More recently, with focus on welfare and remote accessibility for professional services he has extended those programs to include both Tertiary (IIR-T)and medical screening (IIR-S) variants of the original concept and design.
