The following fall he started vet school at the University of Illinois. In 1982, he received a bachelor of science degree in veterinary medicine and a doctorate of veterinary medicine. After graduation, he came to Tampa to be closer to his parents who had moved to Florida several years earlier.

He enjoys practicing medicine, surgery, and loves meeting all of the people and pets that come to our hospital.
