Hugh was an American patriot who served 32 years in the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Directorate of Operations. Hugh was a distinguished member of the CIA's Senior Intelligence Service and he headed CIA offices both international and domestic, providing direct leadership to CIA efforts in Northeast and Southeast Asian locations. He became fluent in Japanese and Indonesian through his work as an officer in the CIA's Clandestine Service, but he improved his Japanese fluency even after retirement through his love and affection for his wife's Japanese family and his numerous Japanese friends.

Afterwards, he graduated from Wesleyan University with a B.A. in Political Science, and obtained an M.A. in Public Administration from Syracuse University.

Hugh was a devoted family man and there are no words to describe how much Hugh was revered, adored, and loved by his wife and sons.
