Michael graduated from Kansas State University in 1972 with a BS in Engineering, but not before meeting the love of his life who he wed in 1975. He started out at Chief Industries in Grand Island, Nebraska, but after a few years he decided he wanted something more challenging so he moved the family to Olathe, KS in 1979 to work at Butler Engineering (now BlueScope) up until his retirement in 2016. Along with winning several accolades during his tenure there he helped design several major projects including the largest single story mall in America, which he took his family, including his parents, to visit for the grand opening.
