Due to his high knowledge and intellect, he tested number one in the United States on the entrance exam.  He was trained as a Pharmacy Specialist and oversaw training and education of new troops while specializing in Oncology.  While serving our country, his high intellect lead him to being promoted to Senior Airman and earning an Air Force Training Ribbon and Good Conduct Medal where he excelled in everything he did.  He was honorably discharged on April 29, 1988.   As a civilian, following his time in the military, he was the supervisor of clinics and lead instructor for the pharmacy technician program at Remington College where soon after he made Chair of the Pharmacy Program at Remington College, Cleveland West Campus.  He loved teaching and helping people, but his pride and joy were his three children.
