I was born in Lebanon,Tennessee in 1943 and raised on a farm near Lebanon. My father was a farmer and mother a schoolteacher. I attended Major School,a three room school for elementary school and Phillips High School in Birmingham,Alabama. I received a BA and MD degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville in 1964 and 1968. From 1968 to 1975 I trained in general and vascular surgery at Parkland Hospital in Dallas,Texas with a two year stint in the US Air Force from 1970-1972. In 1975 we relocated to Knoxville,Tennessee where I practiced surgery with Drs. Charles Smeltzer and John Whittington and later with Premier Surgical Associates. In 1975 I started doing dialysis vascular access procedures for patients at the Fort Sanders Kidney Center then operated by Dr. Joe Leonard. Dr. Naseem Siddiqi joined the nephrology group about four years later. I continued doing general and vascular surgery until my retirement in 2011. I have continued to serve on the board of the Siddiqi Charitable Foundation until the present time. My wife,Darlene, and I have been married 56 years and have two children and two grandchildren. We now reside in Nashville,Tennessee.
