He completed his internship at Valley Forge Army Hospital. He served his residency in Anesthesiology at Brook Army Hospital in San Antonio, TX. He served in the 43rd MASH unit and the 121st Evac Hospital in Korea just after the war.

He was appointed as an assistant professor at the Department of Anesthesia at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. In 1965 he began his private practice in anesthesia at Virginia Beach, VA where he started working solo at several hospitals to make ends meet and built the practice into one of the largest anesthesia providers in Tidewater. He retired from practice in 1995 to tackle many projects at his beloved Quail Point Rd home. He served as an elder and a deacon at the Virginia Beach Community Chapel right up to his passing.

He was a great believer in travelling to learn about the world and so took his family and in-laws on a six week cross country camping trip that reached from Mississippi to Los Angeles to Seattle to Banff and back. He topped himself with a 1973 family camping trip across Europe, into the eastern block countries and into the Soviet Union which was life changing for all. He made another family trip to Holland, Germany and England and travelled widely with his wife to many destinations including the Philippines, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Tahiti, and the US West.
