"At one of my summer internships at the University of Chicago, I did a medical and biophysical internship. It was there where I fell in love with medicine," he told Urbaanite about his love of medicine. This led him to pursue a degree in internal medicine at Meharry Medical College. While there he was Mr. Meharry, President of the Pre-Alumni Association, and on the Meharry Board of Trustees as a young alumni.
