[2] He was educated at the Kisse Rahamim and Mercaz HaRav yeshivas. He subsequently served in the Netzah Yehuda Battalion during his national service in the Israel Defense Forces,[2] before earning a BA in management accounting and information systems at the Jerusalem College of Technology, and a master's degree and PhD in industrial engineering and management at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
