I grew up in Sunny Miami, Florida. I have always wanted to become an eye doctor (optometrist). This was due to an eye condition I have; I was diagnosed with Diplopia (double vision). My Family Optometrist made this diagnosis. I was amazed and impressed that my condition could be fixed with prism lenses “immediately”. I went from barely passing in school to straight A’s after my eyeglasses were ready. I went to undergraduate College at Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte, North Carolina. I went to Pfeiffer University on an academic and wrestling scholarship. I graduated with honors, Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in biology/Pre-Optometry in 1977. Then, I applied to and got accepted to Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee In 1979. I graduated with honors with the Doctor of Optometry degree (OD) in 1983. I was presented with the prestigious Feinbloom Low Vision Award at Graduation. Externships include General Practice & Clinical Practice at the Memphis Health Center, a Multidisciplinary Clinic. I had a successful Private Practice combined with a Nursing Home practice in South Florida for 42 years. I was also an Adjunct Clinical Professor at Nova Southeastern College of Optometry in Davie, Florida, from 1995 to 2001. I am a Member of the AOA and the South Carolina Optometric Association. I was appointed chairman of the Florida Optometric Association Nursing Home and Hospital practice committee from 1989 through 1991.
