Veterinary Patient Care Team
Michael joined AHS’s staff in 2025. He’s Illinois-born, but lived all over growing up due to his parents’ military careers. Michael attended University of North Carolina, Wilmington and studied Film Production. A 9-year veteran firefighter on the Leland Fire and Rescue squad, Michael retired as a Captain, due to injury. After moving to this area, he started out as a client of AHS, and then decided that he wanted to work with us with goals of becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician and possibly going on to Veterinary School.
Michael is married to Tamara. Their children are the furry kind – 4 dogs! Michael loves Disney (he’s in great company here at AHS), photography, Star Wars, and tech “stuff”!
We think he’s very brave to join our female-dominated group here! We’re getting more diverse there with now 4 males in our midst! He seems to tolerate us well and has a great sense of humor!
