This transformative experience led him to pursue formal training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, earning a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University and completing his clinical residency in Shanghai, China, with rotations in internal medicine, psychiatry, and trauma. He later earned a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. Deeply committed to Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, he has trained extensively in the U.S., Mexico, England, and Ireland with renowned teachers. He continues to expand his expertise, recently completing a five-day training in Frequency Specific Microcurrent with its pioneer, Dr. Carolyn McMakin.
