Born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York, I earned a
Bachelors of Science degree in Natural Science

graduating Magna Cum Laude. In 1959, I graduated from
the University of
Buffalo, School of Dentistry, where I was inducted into the
O.K.U. Dental Honor Society and awarded a life membership into
the Xi Psi Phi Dental Fraternity.
I completed a two year rotating dental internship in the United
States Air Force in 1961, attaining rank of Captain and served
one year as director of dental services for Ransomville Hospital. I
went into private practice in Niagara Falls in 1962 until present.
Professionally, I am a member of:
