Dr. Gluf spent virtually his entire adult life serving our country in the United States Navy. After graduating from the US Naval Academy in 1982 he served onboard ships and as a Special Operations Officer (Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)/Navy Diver) before attending medical school at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD.

Personal Interests
As a former US Navy Diver/Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer I still travel the world SCUBA diving, with a particular interest in large pelagic animal encounters. Reading military history, biographies and traveling in Asia and Europe visiting WW II battle sites.
