He was executive vice president for medical affairs for the Kentucky Health Care Access Foundation, which Democratic Gov. Brereton C. Jones and the legislature created to provide health care for people who were below the poverty line but did not qualify for Medicaid.

From 1994 to 2012, he practiced at Rockcastle Regional Hospital and Respiratory Care Center in Mount Vernon. After retirement, he remained in the area.
