After graduating Summa Cum Laude and receiving several academic awards from the Ohio State University College of Dentistry, he went on to complete a Dental General Practice residency at the University of Louisville and Humana Hospital.

He has served on several committees as a member of the Delaware State Dental Society and was Continuing Education Chairman of the Delaware Academy of General Dentistry for six years. He is also a long-standing member of the American Dental Association.
