I was born in Philadelphia and graduated from Central
High School with Barnwell Honor. I then graduated from Temple
University with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts with
concentration in German, French, chemistry, history and mathematics. I
subsequently began my studies at the University of Heidelberg
in Germany where I concluded them in 1968 and received the
Zertifikat for a two year program that I completed in six
months. I then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania
where I received the master's of arts degree in German literature. I was accepted
to the Calhoon M.E.B.A. Engineering School in Baltimore,
Maryland where I studied marine engineering and received top academic honors and earned a United States Coast Guard Third
Assistant Engineer's Officer's License which I have maintained
to this day. I then entered medical school in Des Moines, Iowa
where I graduated in 1984 with a Doctor of Osteopathy degree.
I subsequently was accepted to the MPH Program (Master's of Public
Health degree) in occupational medicine from the Medical
College of Wisconsin where I successfully graduated in 2000.
