He earned two Bachelor of Science degrees from Wake Forest University in 1992 before attending the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1996. This degree was awarded with the distinction of magna cum laude due to his high level of academic achievement.
