After 12 years in Catholic schools, Mike enlisted in the Air Force stationed a LAFB. He was a pharmacy tech at the rank of SGT. at Wilford Hall and Bexar County Hospital. He worked at Bexar County Cable till he was hired by the Postal Service for the next 17 years, starting out at Station A on the Westside then at Henderson Pass Station, where he medically retired.
