Degree in Chemistry from the University of Detroit and later graduated from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, MO in 1961.

In 1965 he completed his residency at Riverside Osteopathic Hospital in Trenton. After practicing in Detroit for a few years, he practiced in Pontiac where his Internal Medicine office was located for 40 years, until his retirement in 2005.
