He attended medical school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and did his residency at the University of Tennessee-Memphis, appearing in both print and video promotional spots for the Elvis Presley Trauma Center.
As a supporter of the arts, he served on the board of directors for the historic Lyceum Theater in Arrow Rock, Missouri and was a benefactor.

Alan loves cooking, wine, and family get-togethers. He supports Children Body Rights initiatives and serves on a state opioid task force. He has appeared in multiple episodes of the television series “Untold Stories of the ER,” and those have consistently ranked among viewer favorites.
With over 1 million patient encounters throughout his career, he has seen first-hand the results of domestic violence and its many victims.
