After his medical internship, he spent two years in the air force as a flight surgeon.

He moved to Houston with his first wife and family and began his medical practice there primarily to be close to Galveston Bay and all the fishing that the area provided. After the death of his first wife he met his current wife, Monica and they continued fishing throughout the United States, Canada and many countries in Central America.
