After obtaining the M Med Vet degree in Pathology, and registering as a specialist veterinary pathologist with the South African Veterinary Council, he was promoted to Professor and filled this position till retirement in 1994. He was a beloved teacher and committed to the elucidation of the causes of lupinosis and "geel dikkop" in sheep.
