He is a graduate of The Ohio State College of Optometry, graduating Summa Cum Laude while concurrently fulfilling requirements for a Masters of Science in Vision Science. His Masters thesis focused on the intricacies of eye and head movements during a baseball swing, research that was stimulated by his interest in the visual system and its association with athletic performance.
