After graduating from college Eugene served over 22 years in the United States Army. I have been stationed in Viet Nam, Korea, Germany, Central America and the Persian Gulf. While in the Army I completed flight school and earned my aviator wings. I am rated in both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft and hold a Commercial Pilots license. After retiring from the Army I was invited to join the faculty at the University of Virginia Health System. Along with my co-founder Doctor Karen Rheuban we created the Office of Telemedicine. The UVA Telemedicine network now connects over 160 sites across the state and numerous international connections. In August 2018 I retired from the University. I now work as a consultant.
