After practicing Invasive Radiology some years in Texas, he came back home to Tulsa and practiced in Tulsa and the surrounding areas and eventually the surrounding states, while keeping his home in Tulsa. He was always accompanied by his faithful companion, Elvis the goofy dog. He was a well-respected doctor in his field of practice who saved many lives.
