Education and Training...

College Graduation, 1985 From left to right, myself, Diane (Baime) Knight and Frank Agnoli

My mother and grandparents were firm believers in education. I went to college and completed a bachelor's degree in biology from Benedictine University in 1985. That made me the first member of my family to ever complete college and earn a bachelors degree. I went to medical technology school at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL. I completed my internship in January of 1986 and have been working, full time, as a Medical Technologist ever since. My training and education is all hard-core science. I have no formal training in art or metal craft. However, the scientific method can be applied to art. That and inhaling every scrap of information I could find on the various topics of interest did not hurt the process.
