Originally from Wisconsin, Michael has called Fountain Hills home since 1999. He earned his degree in Veterinary Technology from Kaplan College in Phoenix and has been a Veterinary Technician since 2013. He joined the Palisades team in early 2022 and now serves as Practice Manager.
A true ailurophile, Michael is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners and has been working to certify Palisades as a Cat-Friendly Practice. He shares his home with his kid and two cats: Fizzgig (Fizzy), a sweet grey kitty, and Nandor the Relentless, a black cat with a personality all his own.
In his free time, Michael enjoys playing Dungeons & Dragons, video games, and commissioning and collecting fantasy and cat-themed art. He hopes to someday retire and become a writer/game designer and operate a cat café in his free time.
