He is an active member of numerous professional and veterans' organizations, including the Mississippi State Medical Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, National Guard Association of the US, Scottish American Military Society and the Reserve Officers Association. His dedication to faith and community is reflected through his involvement with Rotary International, the Knights of Columbus, Order of St. Lazarus, Constantinian Order of St. George and the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre.

His practice recently expanded into a larger facility at 501 Heritage Drive, Suite 111, offering greater capacity to serve patients with quality medical care - Modern Medicine with Southern Hospitality.
