After graduation, he attended Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, PA, pursuing a degree in English literature and a minor in psychology. Upon graduation, he attended California University of Pennsylvania to finish up his pre med classes with the intent of becoming a ophthalmologist. After completing an internship at Mercy hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, he was accepted into an osteopathic program in Erie.

The summer before he left for school, he suffered from a severe ankle injury resulting in a brace and physical therapy. After completing the therapy walking was still difficult. He then sought out treatment from a chiropractor. After having the ankle adjusted, the pain was gone.

Dr Gessler then declined his acceptance to osteopathic school and applied to Palmer College of Chiropractic to pursue a career as a chiropractor.
