His family moved to Stamford, CT in 1961 where he attended St Maurice Elementary School. He graduated from high school at Fairfield Prep, always proud of his Jesuit education. After high school, he attended St Vincent College in Latrobe PA, and then transferred to Southampton College in Long Island where he received a degree in marine biology. An animal lover and fluent in Italian, Domenic attended veterinary school in Bologna Italy, but returned to school in the United States to follow a new career path. He graduated from the Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy in Brooklyn, NY in 1979 after which he began his dedicated practice in pharmacy. After completing a residency at Greenwich Hospital, he opened Palmer Pharmacy in Greenwich with business partner Lou Visconti.

Always a champion for the practice of pharmacy, he served as a State of CT Pharmacy Commissioner from 1994 – 1999. He received the Honorary Alumni Award from the University of CT in 1997. Domenic developed a unique niche practice in the Fairfield County area as a compounding pharmacist, serving not only human patients, but a large number of veterinary patients as well.
