Mike graduated from Montour High School in Pennsylvania and Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida. He was a Veteran of the US Marine Corps. Mike exemplified a commitment to excellence that would become a hallmark of his life.
After serving his country, Mike continued his selfless service as a proud member of the St Lucie County Fire Department for 26 years and Fire Chief of Woodland Fire Department.
