From hometown runaway, to oral surgeon to recording artist,

Jimmy Eugene has done it all, and done it all quite well.

But this much valued success has not come without many

long years of trials, tribulations, minor setbacks and

successes along the way. After dropping out of school

and hitchhiking from Texas to California, Jimmy joined the

Navy where he was given the opportunity to attend

school at Burroughs High School. In addition to attending

school, Jimmy was a crash and rescueman at a naval air station.

After returning home from the Navy, Jimmy’s loving mother guided him to

receiving his GED, getting into college and eventually attending medical and

dental school where he became a certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

On December 16, 2005 the tables turned and it was Jimmy who needed to be

rescued. He was the victim of a severe automobile accident that left him

confined to a bed for several months. During his recovery, Jimmy explained that

music began to flow in his head day and night. Although Jimmy remembered

nothing about the night of December 16, 2005, he remembers the music in his

head and pounds it out on acoustic guitars. Then, Jimmy went to Nashville’s

OMNIsound studio to record his easy listening album, “Call it Destiny.” Since his

accident Eugene has written more than 250 songs and plans on releasing

more albums in the future. Jimmy Eugene’s story is on of inspiration with the

ability to reach people at all walks of life. His life emphasizes the value of

making your own path and creating your future. His music reflects a lifetime of

generosity, kindness, and a love for others. You can call it luck, you can call it

chance, but Jimmy Eugene calls it destiny.
