He earned his medical degree at the Uniformed Services University in 1996 and spent the next twenty years as an Army surgeon and officer. He served with the 10th Mountain Division, supported the 3rd Ranger Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and deployed twice to Afghanistan, where he ran surgical operations in combat hospitals at Salerno and Herat.

After the Army he became a partner and corporate officer in an Augusta orthopaedic practice and served as Chief of Surgery at Doctors Hospital of Augusta. For nine seasons he was team physician for Evans High School football.
His business work began in 2021 with the Evans Society Center and Goat Kick Coffee.
