herbal medicines, acupuncture and medical Qi Gong exercises. In 1980 he was accepted into the US Army Special Forces Medical Training Program, completed
the rigorous three-year program with commendations and taught the Army's first formal course in acupuncture at Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
In 1984 he returned to his hometown of Tampa where he completed a Master's Degree Program in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Florida Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
