Michael (Mikey)'s favorite part about working at the hospital is the people he works with! They make it fun and enjoyable, especially with the running joke about people asking what he's having for lunch.
Yes, Mikey has a dog! Her name is Paisley, a 10-year-old lab mixed with either a dachshund or a basset hound. She's a sweetheart who loves attention and head rubs, and she prefers the company of people over other dogs.
When he's not at work, Mikey enjoys video games, writing, pro wrestling training, and singing in his church choir. His go-to comfort foods are French fries and popcorn. For snacks, he loves Reese’s Cups, Berry Tie-Dye Fruit by the Foot, and sour cream and onion chips.
A fun and surprising fact about Mikey is that he was a homeschooled military brat. His dad was in the Navy for 36 years, retiring almost two years ago. Mikey has lived in Japan, Italy, Spain, California (twice), North Carolina, Texas, and Hawaii—experiences he cherishes as the best of his life.
Seeing other people smile or laugh is one small thing that always makes Mikey's day better.
Summer is his favorite season. He loves being able to wear short pants and Hawaiian shirts, and enjoys going to the beach or water park. For him, it's truly a season of fun.
Mikey shares that he's quiet and soft-spoken at first, but once he's more comfortable, he's goofy, chill, sweet, and a little more outgoing. He wants clients to know he's always there if they need a friend.
