Biography

I was born in Boston where my father, a physician, was working at the time. My family moved to San Francisco and then Galveston Texas when I was three. My father was on the faculty in the department of internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) for thirty years until his death in 1984. My family lived on the East End of Galveston Island close to the medical school, east beach, Bolivar Ferry landing and Houston ship channel. I graduated from Galveston Ball High School in 1969. I went to Earlham College, a small liberal arts college on the outskirts of Richmond, Indiana for two years then transferred to Rice University for a year then decided to return to Earlham where I graduated in 1973. I then came back to Galveston to attend medical school and got my medical degree in 1977. I did my internship in internal medicine at the University of Missouri Medical School in Columbia, Mo and then trained in psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. I am a board certified psychiatrist. I stayed on the faculty at Baylor for three years then left to establish a solo practice in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. While I was in practice I studied psychoanalysis and graduated from the Houston-Galveston Psychoanalytic Institute. Therese “Tessie” Fruge and I married on April 15, 1989 at the Saint Mary Seminary Chapel in Houston Texas. Tessie’s older brothers, Monsignor’s Donald and Edward Fruge presided at the wedding. Tessie and I made our home on Kipling street in the Montrose area of Houston. We adopted our daughter, Lily, in December 92. We joined St. Anne’s Catholic Church. Tessie ran her own public relations firm, Patterson and Murphy while I continued in my solo private psychiatric practice. Lily attended St. Stephens Montessori School then Lamar High School where she graduated in 2011 and Texas Christian University class of 2015. I left my private practice in 2010 to join the department of psychiatry faculty at UT Health Houston and then returned to Galveston to be on the faculty at UTMB where I retired in 2016. Tessie and I now have made our home close to the Galleria area in Houston and pursue our hobbies and interests.
