A Bachelors degree in Molecular Biophysics/Biochemistry from Yale University (1995) laid the foundations as a future Academic Otolaryngologist for Jonathan Bock, MD.  Originally from Wisconsin he returned to complete his medical degree at the Medical college of Wisconsin, followed by his general surgery internship at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.  During his two years as a research fellow, he focused on the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of head and neck cancers and evaluated the role that VEGF-C plays in the development of lymphatic channels and metastasis in head and neck tumors.
