As a Licensed Clinical Exercise Physiologist, he holds a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from the University of Southwestern Louisiana and a Master of Public Health in Nutrition from Tulane University. His past experience includes adjunct instructor for Tulane University, program director for the New Orleans branch of the Department of Treasury's corporate fitness program, exercise/nutrition consultant for the University Hospital Weight Management Center and clinic coordinator for the St. Charles General Weight Management Center also in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Over the last seven years he has helped over 3500 patients in their search for a healthier weight. His knowledge of bariatric surgery comes from working with five different bariatric surgeons and the patient preparation and postoperative programs for six different surgical procedures. He has been instrumental in developing numerous policies that have improved bariatric surgery patient outcomes. As seen and heard through his many television, radio, and lecture appearances, he has great passion in his role as an advocator of surgery for the moribidly obese and has been actively educating the medical community and insurance companies about the necessity of such treatments. He brings a wealth of clinical and hospital administrative experience in the area of bariatric medicine that is matched by only a few peers.

ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
