Biography

For 22 years years I worked as a hospital pharmacist, then when we almost lost our daughter Michelle to CHD, my priorities changed and gave up my income for 2 years so that I could work on a Ph.D. in order to teach and fulfill a lifelong dream. I am almost 50 years of age and the rewards of working with young minds shaping their future has been well worth it. I no longer have to work on weekends or holidays and I cherish the time I now have to spend with my wife and daughter.
