He received his undergraduate degree from Drake University in 1962 and entered the PhD program at Washington University that same year working first with Rita Levi-Montalcini and then with Viktor Hamburger. After receiving the PhD in 1967, he spent one year as a post-doctoral fellow with Tom Sandel at the Washington University Medical School and then established a Neuroembryology Laboratory in the Research Section at the North Carolina Department of Mental Health in Raleigh in 1968 and held that position and was also an Adjunct Professor in the Neurobiology Program at UNC Chapel Hill, until 1983. His research has focused on motor behavior, spinal cord development, neurotrophic factors and programmed cell death.
