He is the former producer and co-host of the Rounding the Earth podcast, owner of Sturgess Prime Productions, and an editor of the Campfire Wiki. He is a member of Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT).[2]
Sturgess received the Kind Heart Award from the City of North Vancouver in 2020, during the first months of the declared COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] Discussing local governments' actions in the first wave of shutdowns resulting in the widespread cancellation of artistic and youth events, Sturgess noted “even though the world was drastically changing, we [can] still take a moment to be thankful for our successes and joys from the past while we prepare for the uncertain future.”[5]
In September 2021, Sturgess co-authored the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA) policy statement alongside several other CCCA members.[6]
In October 2021, Sturgess co-authored a paper for the CCCA on the topic of natural immunity to COVID-19 alongside Drs. Bonnie Mallard, Niel Karrow, Byram Bridle, David Speicher, Christopher Shaw and Steven Pelech, reviewing a collection of 15 studies compiled by Daniel Horowitz at Blaze Media.[7]
In May 2022, Sturgess self-published National Advisory Committee on Immunization: COVID-19 Report. As of January 2023, the book was ranked #16 in Amazon's list of best-selling “Medical Drug Guides”, #17 in “Drug Guides (Books)” and #79 in “Public Health Administration”.[8]
In June 2022, Sturgess travelled to Toronto, Ontario to participate as secretary in A Citizens' Hearing.[9]
In July 2023, Sturgess began working with American Values 2024, a super PAC in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s candidacy for President of the United States.[10] On July 30, 2023, Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute cited Sturgess' article discussing the role of Dustin Moskovitz in funding various exercises and countermeasures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]

He also contributes to The Kennedy Beacon, a series published by American Values 2024.
