After graduating from there, he attended the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, St. Joseph’s College Seminary and finally graduated with a BA in Philosophy at the University of New Orleans.

He moved to Salt Lake City, Utah and graduated from the University of Utah with a BS in Nursing and later pursued his PhD in Nursing there. He graduated with honors from the Utah Air National Guard and was honorably discharged from the Army Reserve in Utah.
