Education
He went into private practice after graduating from the prestigious Oregon Health Sciences University with his DMD. He completed his Bachelor of Science, Magna Cum Laude from Oregon State University.
Originally from McAlester, Oklahoma, where he was an All-State football player and Heavyweight state champion in wrestling, Dr. Faber graduated from the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Prep School with honors, before continuing on to the USAFA, where he played football and wrestled for two years.
He eventually transferred out of the Academy to give a chance at professional football a try, but when injuries ended that dream, he switched to wresting, where he ranked top 10 nationally and was an Olympic hopeful in 2000.
