After graduation, he received his paramedic training from Creighton University in Omaha. He worked as a paramedic in Kansas City and Lincoln. While in Lincoln, he decided to further his education and completed his pre-med studies at Nebraska Wesleyan while working in the ER at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. He received his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Des Moines University. After his emergency medicine internship and residency in Cleveland, Ohio, he came back to work in the ER at St. Elizabeth's.
