He had suffered from his own personal chronic health problem since 1959, when he missed 66 days of school due to viral pneu- monia, so what he was learning was not only helping him and his wife, but even his extended family and friends.

His passion for knowledge grew, so he took it a step further and enrolled in the SOMA Institute of Massage Therapy led by Dr. Vicky Cunningham.
