After serving on active duty in the US Army, I transferred to the Army Reserve and moved to Sulphur Springs, Texas, where I established Eye Center Associates, a solo practice concentrating on comprehensive ophthalmology and cataract surgery. In 2014 I retired from private practice to accept a position with the Veterans Health Administration, staffing Eye Clinics in Ft. Worth, Dallas, and Bonham. In 2015 I was offered and accepted an appointment as Clinical Assistant Professor, UT Southwestern Medical Center.
