After graduating High School in Boston, he attended Boston University where he would earn his undergraduate degree in AB Biology. Influenced as a young man to pursue the field of Dentistry, he then entered Graduate school at Case Western Reserve School of Dentistry, where he would graduate with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.  Wanting to specialize in Maxillofacial Surgery, he attended Boston University’s School of Graduate Dentistry, and fulfilled his residency at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, Ma and the VA Hospital in East Orange, New Jersey.  After the completion of his residency he enlisted in the United States Air Force as a Captain in the Vietnam War.
