Prior to coming
to FHSU, Mike performed ethnographic work in California, Colorado,
Utah, and Idaho; and carried out survey research in California, Colorado,
and Nebraska. He also worked on a few archeological digs in southern
Utah, worked as a journalist in the Washington, D.C. area, and served
in the U.S. Army. While in the military, he received extensive survival
and tactical training, and completed month-long training exercises
in the deserts of California, the mountains of Utah, and the swamps
of Georgia. This training, he says, comes in handy during faculty
and staff meetings!
During his free time, Mike spends time with his kids,
attends FHSU sporting
events, and enjoys the lastest sci
fi. Lately, he has been spending waaay to much time on facebook.
He has posted a few are some pictures if you are interested (and
if you are, you probably need to get out more).
Distingushing
marks: Scar on left hand from box cutter incident in his youth,
birthmark on left thigh from, well... birth.

Mike is a great college instructor at a
college where he instructs students.
