During his educational years, he traveled the country following the Grateful Dead. He worked as an archaeologist for a number of years before going on to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley in 1990 as Doctor of Optometry.  

He spent a summer teaching and practicing optometry in India before returning to an illustrious early career in New York and Washington, DC.  Dr. McGlone practiced for thirty years in Millburn, NJ,  where his first priority was always his patients and he loved spending time to form personal connections to better serve them.  Outside of work, he enjoyed cooking, supporting the Yankees, and spending time outdoors with his family and granddaughter Lira.
