An idyllic childhood among then country roads lined with pear orchards, he attended local public schools with excellent teachers and few social problems. After high school, he attended the University of California in Davis, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Applied Behavior Science). He subsequently attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he obtained a Master of Science in Agriculture (Poultry Science).
After four years of unsuccessful attempts to get into medical school in the United States, he left for Belgium, where he attended the Catholic University of Louvain in Brussels, Belgium, from which he graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1981.
All during his high school and college years, he continued to paint and write. After returning to the United States in 1983 with his charming Belgian wife, Nicole, they settled in Alexandria, Louisiana where they raised four sons. For twenty years, Dr. Holcombe worked as in internist at the Freedman Clinic of Internal Medicine. He subsequently became the Regional Administrator/Medical Director for the Louisiana Office of Public Health, a position he has held for the last 10 years.
Medicine and the arts have co-existed, sometimes peacefully and sometimes painfully during his entire professional career. This on-going tension and underlying passion have given rise to this work, PUBLIC HEALTH ONSTAGE, a compilation of published medical essays and self-published plays.weniger sehen
