Now he is Sole Proprietor and Staff Surgeon at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Huntingdon.
He is a member of American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, American Medical Association and Tennessee Medical Association.
Last Week, we had the privilege of a visit from our District Governor, Larry Boyd and his lovely wife Roxanne.
One of the Governor’s first comments was to compliment the local club on it’s Scholarship Program, and he was proud to be here and be a part of that and also he mentioned the Promethean Program, which the club sponsors, saying one of his personal priorities was the literacy programs for young children, going on to quote our International President, Dong Kurn Lee as saying "we must protect the most precious resources we have in our communities, and that is our children", he said. He went on to say that D.K. said around the world every day 30,000 children under the age of 5 years die of curable diseases. He said these things are not happening in third world countries alone, they are happening right here in our own country.
He mentioned some things we can do every day to protect our youth, such as Smoke Detectors, Head-wear protection for children and the lack of child restraints in our automobiles, saying that 71% of child mortality incidents could have been prevented by the use of child restraint systems properly.
He encouraged the education of the people in our community to these things and by doing so we reduce the child mortality in our community and country, and also encourage the end of health and hunger problems, along with promoting clean water and improved literacy programs here and abroad.
