He obtained his BA in Political Science from St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY where he was able to attend with a full International Student scholarship. He then moved on to attend law school at the University of Dayton School of Law where he was able to obtain his Juris Doctorate in a two-year accelerated program again being recipient of multiple merit scholarships.

Even before attending law school, he has helped many people obtain their permanent residency, asylum and citizenship allowing them to legally live and work in this country. In early 2020, Levon and his wife Artemis decided to relocate to Las Vegas to further pursue their careers.
