Michael's Story

Life I moved to Newton, Kansas after attending three years at Highland High School (Albq. NM) in June 1978 and then I completed my senior year at Newton HS 1979. I competed in the Plymouth Troubleshooting contest where my partner Rob and I represented Newton HS nationally. I graduated with certifications as a welder, machinist, & auto mechanic (thought I'd have a racing career). I worked at Gail Ward Dodge (Newton, KS) as an auto mechanic for 2 years before going to college. I attended WSU & worked nights at WMC E.D. (Wichita, KS) when I was accepted to the Paramedic Program where I graduated and passed KS State Boards for EMICT. I worked for Sedgwick County EMS 10 years and continued college attending WSU and Friends U. I moved to Wichita, KS in 1982 and I got married May 1984. We have 3 boys, Justin, Joe, & Austin. I went back to work at WMC in 1988 in the Cath Lab full time and later completed Nursing Program through SUNY. I continued work at WMC and Riverside E.D. as well as an Aerobics Instructor at a couple of Health Clubs. I left the hospital 1996 and moved to Phoenix while working for BARD EP until I moved to the Twin Cities (MN) Thanksgiving 1997. There I started...Expand for more
work at Guidant CRM corporate offices. In 1999 I moved to KC, still with Guidant (acquired by Boston Scientific April 2006). I was part of a RIF (reduction in force) ie, laid off April 2007. I spent the summer of 2007 working at Philmont Scout Ranch as a back country counselor at the Hunting Lodge in Cimarron, New Mexico. Absolutely a blast and I hope to do it again. Upon returning home I continued to volunteer at our local BSA camp and worked on my hobby of photography. Update: March 2008 I returned to the Medical Device Industry after my wife told me I had to get a real job again. I'm working for Biotronik, Inc., a German based company that makes and sells pacemakers, ICDs, cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers/ICDs in the US with a corporate office near Portland, OR. I currently have a temporary assisgnment providing sales coverage for the Wichita, KS area where two previos co-workers recruited me during their "no-compete" until the end of 2008. Jan 1, 2009 I'll relocate to the Chicago area and resume my role as a Field Clinical Engineer supporting the clinical studies for R & D. So, for now I spend the week in Wichita and go home on the weekends in Kansas City.
