Drawn to medicine so he could help other people, Dr. Bombeck became a surgeon “because it offers a hands-on approach to dealing with illness.”

A retired Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army, he served as a trauma surgeon across Europe and in Afghanistan. In his spare time, Dr. Bombeck enjoys playing golf and snow skiing, as well as enjoying the outdoors with his wife and their three daughters.
