He completed his dental training at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine receiving his DMD in 1978. He then moved to New Orleans where he completed a 4 year residency program in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the LSU School of Dentistry in 1982. He practiced full time in New Orleans from 1982-1984 after which he returned to LSU to serve as a full time faculty member for 14 years. In 1998, he resigned his full time position at LSU to return to private practice in Charlotte, NC.
