Dwight's Story
Life
I have two daughters (39 & 29), one son (30), and two grandsons and one granddaughter. My wife, Tricia, has her Doctor of Clinical Nutrition degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers). My oldest, Kara, has two sons, Evan and Ben, and a daughter, Katelyn, and lives in Nashville. We lived in Israel from 1995-2002 where Tricia and I did cancer research and I patented (U.S., 2002, #6,482,328) a biomedical device. We moved to NJ, where my wife had some relatives, after our bus was bombed in Israel. Tricia had a large private practice in NJ for almost 11 years and is now an Assistant Professor at West Chester University. I was the Director of Student Academic Affairs and Student Life at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University in New York. Currently I teach public health courses to graduate and undergraduate students at West Chester University.
