He then attended Western University of Health Sciences where he earned his degree in medicine and completed his house officer appointment at Downey Regional Medical Center.

While there, he also served as principal investigator for several National Institutes of Health Sanctioned Phase 2 and 3 Drug Studies. His articles and research appear in multiple publications. Afterward, he trained for one additional year in Mohs Micrographic Cancer Surgery and reconstructive techniques and became one of the first physicians in the nation to receive the Certificate of Added Qualification in Mohs Surgery by the American Osteopathic College and Board of Dermatology. He maintains licensure in Wyoming, Idaho, and Arizona.
