Here he met his future wife, with whom he has lived to this day. He graduated from the Medical Faculty of Charles University in Hradec Králové, where he most enjoyed psychiatry and dentistry, which he devoted to his entire professional life. He was one of the first to take part in protests in Litomyšl after November 17, 1989. He organized and moderated anti-communist demonstrations; he was also at the birth of the local Civic Forum. He later joined the successor Civic Democratic Party. From 1990 to 1993 he worked as the director of the Litomyšl hospital.
