Mike started his Fire Service and EMS career in mid 1999 as a volunteer for the Cerro Gordo Fire Protection District and Cerro Gordo Community Ambulance Service.

Mike obtained his Illinois State EMT-Basic license in January 2000 and EMT-Intermediate in March 2000. Mike went on to obtain his EMT-Paramedic in January 2004, while working for Kirby Ambulance Service in Monticello, IL. In June 2004, Mike was promoted to the position of Operations Manager, which he held until resigning in May 2010 in order to focus on his HEMS career.

Mike was only the fifth (and last) paramedic hired for OSF Life Flight. Over the past 13 years, Mike has dedicated a large portion of his career to critical care medicine and HEMS. In November 2021, Mike decided to switch HEMS programs and joined Milwaukee Regional Medical Center's Flight For Life team, where he's currently based out of Burlington, WI.
