Mike was stationed at Lowry AFB Colorado for training as a broadcast technician. His first job was as a support technician for Combat Camera, and later he moved to AFNews to build and support TV stations in Europe and Japan. After leaving the military, Mike worked for DirecTV in Los Angeles, then switched to the manufacturing side by joining Nvision, where he eventually became a product manager for control systems and routers.
