He had three main passions: art, history, and feet. After graduation from New Braunfels High School in 1965, he went on to get his Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biology and Chemistry at the University of Houston. He received his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine in 1973 from Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. His residency was completed at Henrotin Hospital in Chicago. In 1973, he opened his podiatry practice in New Braunfels in the Wright Building. He later bought the building and resided there until his passing. While running his podiatry practice, he also served as Assistant Clinical Professor at UT Health Science Center in San Antonio. He closed his practice in 1990 after many years of serving the New Braunfels community, serving on many Podiatric Medicine Boards in San Antonio, and volunteering countless hours of podiatry services to hospitals in San Antonio. He was a lifetime member of the Texas Podiatric Medical Association and the American Podiatric Medical Association.
