A strong proponent of education he received the "Partners in Patient Education Award" from the Illinois Pharmacy Foundation in 1994. He first realized his interest in adult education when he became a preceptor for pharmacy students in his community pharmacy in the early 90's. Through his affiliation with the UIC College of Pharmacy and Midwestern, he was assigned students who had so many various backgrounds, he quickly became aware of how adults all learn differently.

Realizing that learning never stops he decided to pursue a graduate degree. He earned a Master of Public Health degree and a Master of Science in Management and Organizational Behavior degree from Benedictine University in 1997. While pursuing his masters, he experienced first hand the trials and tribulations of adult education ; in order to meet the demands of family, store ownership and school, he began working as an overnight pharmacist at Osco Drug in Schaumburg, IL.
