He first served his country as a Lieutenant JG in the US Navy in 1943, on landing crafts as a beach battalion doctor and surgeon. He participated in the Anzio, Normandy, Peleliu, Philippines, and Okinawa actions. He also served in Viet Nam, and Operation Desert Storm.

He then moved to successive similar positions at the University affiliated Rose and Veterans Administration Medical Centers until 1988 when he became both Professor Emeritus of Surgery and Medicine at the University and a Distinguished Physician in the Department of Veterans Affairs. FOREWORD BY EISEMAN: In this report of a conference on Mechanical Devices to Assist the Failing Heart, held in September 1964 by the Committee on Trauma, current observations and problems are presented, freely discussed, and critically analyzed with a view to identifying potential areas of further research and advancing clinical utilization of mechanical aids. The development of mechanical devices to assist the failing heart is embryonic and the role of these devices in the management of the injured is under test in experimental and clinical situations.
